Basic Information

Home

More and more people are choosing to undertake and, within them, the number of people interested in carrying out projects in the gastronomic field is increasing. 

The training offer, however, is limited to the creation and management of companies in general, ignoring the particularities of a gastronomic business. Too many entrepreneurs are doomed to failure, many of them with advanced economic and business training, because they have not taken into account the specific world of gastronomy. There are many businesses that close due to poor decision-making and lack of knowledge about fiscal and economic issues. 

Aranjuez has businesses with a long tradition and experience, where things have been done very well for many years. We have the privilege of being very close to great professionals who could be part of our courses, sharing their knowledge and good work.
