Dear Colleague,
Welcome to the Chocolate Academy! With
the seminars and courses organised by Callebaut in 2007-2008, we offer professionals
in all fields the opportunity to expand their
knowledge of chocolate and further develop
their chocolate skills. You can choose from
introductory, advanced and specialist courses
in chocolaterie, confectionery or catering. In
addition to theory there’s plenty of hand-on,
practical experience, so by the end of the
course you’ll be able to do a whole lot more
with chocolate – guaranteed!
The courses and practical instruction are given
by the Callebaut technical advisors – the real
chocolate experts. New this year are the
guest classes given by the Callebaut Chocolate Ambassadors. These leading professionals
have particularly wide experience in working
with chocolate on a day-to-day basis. This
chance to benefit from their unique knowledge is definitely not to be missed!
The Chocolate Academy is also the ideal opportunity to exchange tips, tricks and experience with fellow professionals, others in the
same branch, our technical advisors and last
but not least our Chocolate Ambassadors.
