TRAINING

The AVPN starts training courses and stages for trained or trainees pizza-makers from all over the world, so the new generations will keep alive ancient traditions and their roots, distinguishing the “original neapolitan pizza” all over the world.
Therefore, training courses for overseas pizza-makers are encouraged, also through flight bookings, car rentals and hotel reservations in town and so on. An English speaking tutor is available, while for other languages a minimum of five people in each group is required.
Each training course, at any level, will offer some brief, yet necessary theory and technique issues; however a lot of practice will be done on the spot, in our associated Pizzerias and our apprentices will be continuously tutored by qualified Neapolitan pizza-makers.
Special training-courses are held for children and teenagers of any age. Groups will be formed for children up to 10 years old and teenagers up to 18. It’s a professional and certified approach to the pizza-making, based on our history and traditions.
At the end of the course the AVPN will issue a degree certifying the successful completion of the course for each trained pizza-maker. The degree will not be given to the pizzeria they belong to, therefore the pizza-maker can count on an enduring and guaranteed certification. At the same time a certified pizza-maker commits himself to comply with our Association protocol; in this way the ancient pizza-makers tradition is kept alive by new generations and the “original Neapolitan pizza” will remain unaltered.
