What you will learn

The four-week curriculum

Each week builds on the last. You leave with finished pieces every Saturday.

The science of chocolate

Cocoa butter crystallisation, the three reliable tempering methods, the parchment test that decides every batch. By the end of day one you will temper a 1 kg block from scratch.

Alumni voices

What graduates take away

Anastasia Cebotari — Alumna, autumn cohort

I came in able to follow a recipe. I left able to read the chocolate.

Mihai Bostan — Alumnus, spring cohort

The marble work felt impossible on day one. On day four my hands knew it without thinking.

Full course

Elena Cazacu — Alumna, summer cohort

I now open my own pastry corner three mornings a week. The school is the reason I had the courage.

Career change

Practical questions

Before you book

No. Half of every cohort has never tempered a piece of chocolate before. The first two hours of week one are paced exactly for that. Existing professionals find the depth in weeks three and four matches what they came for.

The next cohort is already filling.

Eight seats per cohort, one cohort a month. Reserve early — winter and spring intakes typically close two weeks before the start date.
