FERRANDI Paris

Ferrandi presents itself as a prestigious school, but the reality is far from it. There is no serious support for exam preparation, teachers are disengaged or absent, and educational trips are nonexistent. A national trip was cancelled due to a supposed lack while other programs enjoyed trips abroad — clear double standards. Even the cafeteria is excessively overpriced. Everything is charged for — even a tiny packet of salt. It feels like the school is trying to profit off students at every opportunity, instead of investing in their experience. The facilities are also in terrible condition. There are leaks in the basement near the locker rooms, dirty and poorly maintained toilets, and flies buzzing around the classrooms. The school is full of pretentious talk, but the reality doesn’t match. We are left on our own, and the high tuition fees are simply unjustified.

I participated in the Fundamental of the French Cousin course and it was FANTASTIC, it’s exceeded all expectations, from the food to the chefs to the school and to the logistics organization. I’m definitely going to be back to another course, Ferrandi guys are doing excellent work. Merci 🙌🏾🎊🎉🍀

Finished 2 weeks bread baking course in Paris Campus. Had a great lesson and experience. Good facility and also learnt about the fundamental of French bread technique. The course cost was so worthed. Would be back for other lesson.

I absolutely loved the course work and the teachers but as an international student this schools administration was terrible. I can’t speak for the administration that handles the french students, but was extremely disappointed. Did not receive any course material/ schedule until 1 week before the course started. The admin was terrible at communication throughout the entire program. Still do not have a diploma even though the program was finished almost 4 months ago. Now my classmates and I are being told there will be no sort of graduation ceremony even though other international groups got a ceremony. Just disappointed with the outcome on finishing the program from administration. I’m not one to ever leave a review but when it comes to dispelling this much money towards a educational certificate I think it’s important for anyone considering schooling here.

I am writing this review in hope that future international pastry students read this review and be warned. So my class has finished the course by the end of the may. We kind of expected a small ceremony or at least to get a diplomas and have a photo taken all of us together as a memory but we didn't get that. I don't know why or what the reason behind that is but to me it is not the way to go. Also what is unacceptable is the communication between administration and students. A lot of us had different type of issues esp when it comes to diplomas here we are almot 4 months later and still we haven't received it. First of all let me say how much stress this has caused to most of us who are soon returning back home and we are not sure we will even receive it at this point after 2 months of promising to get it and unreplied emails . You actually have to go to school to beg for your diploma . All I can say yes while the course itself was great the other part of administration not so much.

Unfortunately, only 2 stars. I am very disappointed and angry with Pastry school Ferrandi. When I started my Intensive Pastry course in August, I was told that my uniform had not yet been delivered. I asked hundreds of times and was always just put off. They said the uniform was still arriving. So i got a uniform from another student (Yiting Weng. One month before our final exam, they wanted to order the uniform again from the Bragard company. I then pointed out to them that it was pointless, because they have a delivery time of 3-4 weeks and I would not get them on time. I then wanted my money back for the uniform I had already paid for. But since there are unfortunately only incompetent employees in this school ( except Arnaud, Jean Philippe and Lucas) I still have not received a refund. I can make a transfer within 1 minute but the overpriced school can't even get it done in 3 months. The practical course and our teachers were great and fun. We learned a lot of new things. At first we were also told we would be placed for our voluntary internship. After about 2 months it turned out that everyone has to take care of it themselves. This became very stressful and most of the patisseries didn't even answer us. The school didn't really help us with that either. I expressed the desire to come to a small family business and in the end I was in a business that was the complete opposite. This is very embarrassing for ferrandi

My daughter took the international French Pastry course. She loved it, we are so happy we choose Ferrandi.

I tried to get a simple information through the main administration four times as I am a former student of this school. The service and behaviour was awful. What a shame!
