I looked up the IRCA recipes and found that they offer courses on bakery (making bread and pastries), gelato (Ice cream) and chocolate!They are in Italy, where they offer one to one courses and one to many courses. But also soon online.
If you want a free demo of what to do, the contests at the trade shows offer opportunities if you are not anchored to a stand. If you are looking for a distributor, you could stagger your lunch times so that your stand is always manned but use a lunch break to go off and watch the contests.
Courses
Who are the courses for and where can you do courses? For students and the professionals, to update, to train your own staff, as a perk or prize, as a holiday where you come home with a skill, to improve your status as a spouse or on a dating site, or to gift for a birthday or Xmas for a child (or spouse or sibling) or a grandchild.
UK Armed Forces
At an exhibition in London I saw a stand by the navy. School leavers without academic qualifications and aptitudes, those who are more practical and like using their hands and seeing results, can sign up to the catering corps and receive in house (or on ship) training, accommodation taken care of, instant friends and social life.
Not the usual situation of take a training course and then have the stress of applying for a job. Instead a guaranteed job at the end of the training in a situation you already know,
Singapore
For the retired or approaching retirement, Singapore has a Skills Future programme which subsidizes courses within Singapore.
Annual Training
For some years now it has been a requirement for workers to take about four days of training every year to update themselves in new technology, and to brush up their old skills and re-ignite their enthusiasm, as well as connecting with colleagues or others working in the same field as well as the experts. You have probably heard about teachers being away from schools on training courses - sometimes as surprise or inconvenience to parents! My father who had two optician's shops, after retiring did locum work a couple of days a week, and he had to take updating courses on the latest equipment and identifying abnormalities inside the eye for noting possible diseases to ensure that patients got checked out medically. My son did an NLP course with doctors from a London hospital, keen to improve patient's morale and the doctor's bedside manner and the staff-patient relationship and communication.
My husband took a course on wine with WSET in London, which has now expanded worldwide. I have seen courses on chocolate making offered by chocolate shops at Xmas time. You can also give a cookery course to newlyweds, as retraining for the redundant, or as a new interest. The opportunities are expanding.
Warning
After a day at the exhibition, despite walking around the Singapore MRT stations, and around the exhibition halls, my weight had gone up!
