About
What is the Minapan License Course?
Acquire a Lifetime Skill and the Ability to Teach.
“I don’t want bread making to end as just a hobby.”
“I wish I could open a classroom from home while raising my children…”
It was these aspirations that led to the creation of the Minapan Licensing Program.
This system is designed to provide thorough support for certification, classroom startup, and sales activities while you learn to make gluten-free specialty “rice bread.”
You’ll develop not only your bread-making techniques but also your ability to communicate and teach. Even beginners can aim to reach the level of opening a class or launching sales within six months.
\ Great Features of the Minapan License！/
Based on experience from teaching over 1,000 students through in-person and online lessons across Japan and overseas, we provide a wealth of knowledge.
In just three years of operation, 80 individuals across Japan and abroad have acquired our license! We share all the know-how—from bread making techniques to preparation methods—to make it easy for everyone to launch their business.
Feature
Key Features of the Minapan License
Feature01
Experience from In-Person and Online Lessons Across Japan and Overseas
As digitization advances, there are now many online classes available. While online learning certainly has its benefits, our school values “communicating through the five senses.”
We primarily offer in-person lessons across Japan and internationally, sharing a wealth of experience that extends all the way to online instruction.
Feature02
You can learn directly from the original recipe creator, understanding the meaning of each step and the role of ingredient ratios.
When you start teaching classes, you will often receive many questions from students about the role of ingredients and other technical details.
To ensure you can easily answer these questions, the recipe creator will explain everything during the lessons, starting from the meaning behind the ingredient ratios.
Feature03
We lecture on everything from how to start and host your class (whether at home, in a commercial kitchen, or online) to communication skills and the proper mindset for launching your business.
We provide advice drawn from extensive experience to ensure that you don’t feel the anxiety of, “I have the recipes, but what do I do next!?”
Our guidance is designed to make it easy for you to launch your business when you start your own class or sales activities.
Feature04
Ongoing Support System After Licensing!
A common challenge when running your own class or business is that while things may start smoothly after launching, it becomes difficult to maintain motivation over time.
To ensure our licensed instructors can continue their ventures for the long term, we offer free courses exclusive to license holders! The feeling of “You’re not alone!” helps keep your motivation high.
A New You in 6 Months!
Gain Confidence and Launch Your Business!
In any new endeavor, aiming for “fast and quick” is the most dangerous approach!
By taking the time to learn deeply and enjoyably as part of your long life’s journey, the “quality of your work and the quality of your classroom” will be fundamentally different when you finally start.
