Transmitting unparalleled know-how while contributing to the professional integration of its students is the dual vocation of the Académie du Savoir-Faire. This prestigious course began at the Berluti Manifattura in 2012, through a partnership between Berluti, the Centoform training institute and the Emilia Romagna region.

During a 400-hour theoretical and practical training program, future bootmakers learn the unique art of cutting, stitching, assembling and patinating. Their work is carried out under the benevolent yet highly demanding supervision of the Maison's master craftsmen. The final examination provides a qualification recognized throughout Europe. But only the best candidates obtain the Certificate of Excellence, which opens the doors to the Berluti Manifattura. The Academy joined the LVMH group's Institute of Métiers d'Excellence in November 2018.
