Chocolates and Confections - Intermediate

This Chocolates and Confections Intermediate course is part of three modules that develop intermediate pastry skills.

In this module, you will learn to build chocolates, including a variety of confections. You will also learn to make chocolate confections using moulds, hand-dipping, ganache, and other fillings, and to finish, decorate, and present them to retail standards.

Every applicant is required to undergo an initial assessment and interview to ensure the course is a good fit for them, with consideration given to previous experience in the subject area.

The course includes ongoing practical assessments, and upon successful completion, you will receive a certificate from Capital City College.
