“An absolute game changer in the world of chocolate education.”

— The Chocolate Notebook

how it works

  • All our classes are designed so you can learn at your own pace, whenever it’s convenient for your schedule. We teach through a combination of video lessons, projects (with downloadable how-to instructions), step by step insights, and livestream demonstrations. Livestreams are recorded and available for viewing afterward.

    Access to the class materials is always available 24/7, and students have access for the lifetime of the course.

  • You’ll be in good company!

    Over half our students live outside the US, from every continent. Well, with the exception of Antarctica (so far, anyway :)

  • Definitely!

    You’ll receive a recommended equipment list, and because we are small batch makers and understand equipment needs, we also offer guidance for macgyvering/making use of what you have whenever that’s possible.

    Some students buy the equipment before their class, others wait, and others have had some equipment then purchased other pieces later.

  • Yes. You’ll need a smart phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop, and a stable internet connection.

  • Registration for any of our classes/workshops is for one seat in the class, a policy we stand by out of fairness and consideration to solopreneur makers. But, we also understand the needs of small batch chocolate businesses, and want you to share what you learn with your partner or team. We also offer group pricing; please email for info.

  • Not only will you be ready to do that, but we’ll be here for you!

  • Every course is lead by our founder (chief instigator of chocolate skills sharing), Mackenzie Rivers, founder of Map Chocolate Co, and a well-known, award-winning craft chocolate maker. She is often joined by fellow chocolate makers and cacao experts from around the world to help bring the most current, valuable insights.
