The Professional Chocolatier Program is an
intensive part-time program in chocolate making, delivered 100% online

your work and personal life. Become a professional chocolatier – learn
how to make gourmet chocolate using modern techniques and recipes via
your computer, phone or tablet. Chocolate Maker
The Chocolate Making from the Bean Program is
about how to make your own chocolate from scratch from dried cocoa
beans. The curriculum covers the entire chocolate-making and
manufacturing process from sourcing beans, cleaning, winnowing,
roasting, refining, conching and tempering to produce bulk chocolate
from which you create your final products. Chocolate Programs
We offer a range of chocolate-making programs suitable for both
beginners and those with experience in chocolate work. Chocolate making
involves very specific knowledge, skill sets and techniques so whether
you are a chocolate fan seeking to become more expert or want to start a
chocolate business, you'll find a program that fits your needs. Master Programs
Our Master Chocolate Programs are the next step
forward for our Ecole Chocolat graduates and other experienced
chocolatiers or pastry chefs who want to advance their intermediate
skills with an intensive experience in using professional equipment and
advanced techniques for production of fine quality artisan bonbons,
confections and bars in more volume. Quality Assurance
The Quality Assurance & Keeping Limits for Chocolatiers Program
is all about science – the science of producing a quality product,
handling and storing it properly and knowing its keeping limits. We also
discuss food safety regulations and labeling standards in depth,
especially as they relate to standards, nutrition, dietary restrictions
and traceability. Our Graduates
Since 2003, we've worked with students passionate about chocolate
from 74 different countries across the globe. Each student comes into
our program with his or her own passion and vision for chocolate work.
It's very satisfying for us to see them translate that passion and
vision into fabulous bonbons, confections and bars. To see what some of
them are up to click here: Our Blog: bean2bonbon

Tales from our Chocolate Laboratory! We are so excited to share our love
of chocolate science and artistry. We talk about chocolate from growing

processing, production and flavor in chocolate making, to the recipe
work that leads to delectable products created by chocolatiers. Save Fine Chocolate
