I am proud to announce that we are now offering online chocolate making classes at our sister site Artisanschool.com It has taken many months and almost a thousand hours to develop and I believe our Basics of Chocolate Molding course is the most comprehensive course of its type offered anywhere (possibly the only course of its type).

The basic course teaches everything needed to use all the basic mold types and includes mold painting, open molds, lollys (all 3 types), hollow molding, solid molding, and open top hollow, as well as basics like melting, equipment, etc… Expect to spend 20 - 30 hours to complete this course.

The courses are self guiding so you can work at your own pace, and the message boards are monitored several times a day for fast answers to your questions.

A free sample mini course extracted from the main course is available. Although a sample, it is a complete course on basic open top molding. The sample course takes 1 - 2 hours to complete.
