2-year course: CAP in glass and crystal arts and crafts (glassblower)
From training to applied research, Cerfav is the best guarantee for workshops and for the apprentices themselves. Cerfav is the only training centre in France dedicated entirely to glassmaking techniques, which is Cerfav’s added value. What’s more, unlike a course given in a general school or CFA, the apprentices at Cerfav are at the heart of the glass industry.
