William Angliss Institute together with Majors Group Australia and Carpigiani Gelato (CGU) have collaborated to offer CGU gelato making courses in Melbourne, Australia. This is the only of its kind in Australia and is the same course as that being offered at CGU headquarters Bologna, Italy.

This course is also ideal for current industry professionals who need to upskill and expand their gelato making knowledge and skills, and for new entrants into the gelato industry.
