I like cooking and baking, but thought only women join cooking classes.
Then I saw men cooking on First’s Instagram and wanted to join.
The baking class was fun and fulfilling.

Student Satisfaction
5★★★★★
Q. What motivated you to attend First Academy?
I was lost about my career path and struggling with my major not fitting my aptitude. At that time, I suddenly thought I wanted to learn pastry and baking. Although I didn’t have a natural talent for cooking, I liked bread and cakes, so I chose this path. However, I felt overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. I searched online randomly and visited academies in person, but I decided to enroll here because they seriously listened to my concerns, which built my trust.
Q. What impressed you the most while attending First Academy?
Due to personal reasons, there were times I couldn’t attend classes, but I was surprised that I could take make-up classes for the missed lessons. Thanks to the make-up classes, I didn’t fall behind and could participate normally in regular classes, which was very helpful.
