"The course was so full of useful knowledge, from creating my own signature chocolates. . .
. . . to creating a production plan and floor plans for my shop. I believe you get the total package, not just fluff. This course also gives you a dose of reality when it comes to pricing not only the chocolate but packaging and equipment as well. ."
–Tammy, Jan. '13 Graduate
"The curriculum exceeded my expectations.
One of the things I appreciated most about the course were the curricular resources. They were really useful and there were documents we could not have accessed outside of this program. Yes, I learned a lot more about the chocolate industry and the diversity within the industry. More importantly, this program helped me focus on creating my own chocolate identity."
