Learn about our eligibility requirements and the application process for our direct enroll courses and programs. Please note conditions and processes may vary for our Japan and Vietnam programs.
What is a direct enroll program?
A direct enroll program means that you fill out an application directly with Gustolab International to attend an onsite or virtual program. Throughout the application process, you will interact directly with Gustolab International to apply, make payments, confirm travel arrangements, and complete enrollment materials. Gustolab International may administer additional enrollment steps, depending on the needs of each student.
What is an onsite program?
An onsite program is held in person at one of our locations. We currently have onsite programs in Italy (Spring, Summer and Fall), Japan (Summer) and Vietnam (Summer).
