Student Testimonials

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.
