It is ideal if you want to enjoy all the advantages of online learning: learn from anywhere with a 12-month Virtual Campus access.
The course is taught by Jordi Bordas and his Research and Development team, made up of three great professionals who contribute different talents to this unique training program: Adrianna Jaworska, Paula Domènech and Ariadna Martínez.
This pastry course combines all the knowledge acquired over more than 10 years of research and investigation. It is divided into 4 distinct modules, designed so you can acquire the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge and learn to formulate recipes with the B·Concept method in a progressive manner.
The next step in the process of learning to formulate recipes from scratch is to understand the interactions between the molecules studied in the first module of the course. In the second module, we will cover all the textures that we can create as the result of different combinations of the basic food molecules: creams, mousses, gelled compotes, or jellies. In order to build these textures, we use four basic pastry techniques: emulsification, aeration, thickening and gelling.
This is the module you have been waiting for: recipe formulation with the B·Concept method. Once you have mastered the pastry molecules and techniques, you have the essential theoretical base to start creating your own recipes. You only need pen and paper. In this module, Jordi Bordas will explain the B·Concept method, step by step, constructing an example recipe from start to finish. He will also make some recipe comparatives so you can appreciate the difference between classic recipes and those developed with the B·Concept method. Finally, he will show you more than 30 different recipes designed from scratch.
This is the last module of the course. After 3 intense, theoretical modules, we can move on to the more visual and practical part. Jordi Bordas will teach you how to make a high-end pastry collection showcasing 8 pastry products from his recipe collection. Among them, you will find recipes made with a variety of ingredients (chocolate, fruit, nut or dairy), as well as numerous gluten and lactose-free recipes or 100 % vegan recipes. A module to enjoy and learn alongside the World Pastry Champion.
The course is distributed over 12 months with the first 14 weeks dedicated to theoretical modules 1, 2 and 3 and including graded tests and exercises.

Module 4 is optional and is not being graded, but we encourage you to watch all the videos and replicate the recipes at home in order to put into practice everything that you have learned.
Throughout the year, we will have various editions of the course, available in different languages and each with its own start and finish date. To get to know the details of each edition, check out the schedule at the end of this brochure.
The on-site course is an intensive 4-day training at Jordi Bordas’ Pastry School in Viladecans (Barcelona) and is carried out in small groups of a maximum of 12 participants. This allows you to immerse yourself in the unique experience with Jordi Bordas and his team.
Online training is done remotely and in closed groups of maximum 60 participants. This course consists of approximately 250 learning hours, more than 40 hours of videos, live webinars, and reading materials. We recommend dedicating approximately 15 hours per week of studying time for the proper assimilation of knowledge. You will have access to the Virtual Campus and the course content for 12 months, but the theoretical part of the course will take place during the first 14 weeks, in which our team will guide you to comply with the established study plan.
Both trainings are based on the B · Concept method, however, the online option is full of new and unpublished content that cannot be explained in just four days of the on-site training.
The course lasts 12 months counting from the start date for which you have enrolled. The theoretical part consists of Modules 1, 2 and 3, is carried out during the first 14 weeks. From here on, you will be able to view all the content again and fully enjoy Module 4 of pastry creations.
At the end of the 12-month period, you will be able to prolong your access to the content by enrolling into the Superior Alumni program.
You will be able to access the content only on the start date of the edition you have enrolled for.
If you cannot submit the tests and exercises on the dates indicated in the study plan, you will need to present us with some justification. It is extremely important to meet the deadlines in order to ensure the proper functioning and flow of the course. In the event that you do not submit the assignments and fail to justify it, you will not be awarded the training certificate.
We try to offer the highest quality for each of more than 200 videos that you will find in the Virtual Campus, therefore, it is impossible to send them or provide the option to download them. However, the platform is adapted so that you can watch the videos from different devices with an internet connection, always keeping the highest quality.
Yes, you can download all the documents in PDF so that you can save them on your devices or print them whenever you want.
You do not need to have previous experience or knowledge, although it is important that you are very motivated to learn.
It is an ideal course for those who are just starting in the world of pastry, as well as the professionals who want to improve and reinvent themselves, acquiring new knowledge and skills of great value.
Being faithful to our educational philosophy, the course is prominently theoretical, and its main objective is that you acquire the knowledge that will allow you to be free when designing your own pastry recipes. Still, Module 4 is focused on putting everything you learned in the previous Modules into practice.
A few days before the start of the course, you will receive an email with the instructions on how to register on the Virtual Campus and access the course. From then on, you will be able to access the Virtual Campus using a button located in the upper right corner of the website. If you want to access the Campus through the mobile application, you can download “Canvas Student” from the App Store or Google Play. In either case, you will have to enter your email and password indicated in the initial registration.
The course consists of 4 modules. To ensure the best acquisition of knowledge, each of the modules will be unlocked successively according to the dates indicated in the study plan.
Once the 12 months of access to the Virtual Campus have passed, you can prolong your access through the Alumni Superior program.
You can use a smartphone, a tablet or a computer with an internet connection, although our personal recommendation is that you use a computer to have the optimal conditions for the visualization of the course’ content.
