The Chocolate Techniques course was truly exceptional! It provided a comprehensive overview of chocolate crafting, from tempering to creating intricate designs. The step-by-step instructions were easy to follow, and the instructor's expertise shone through every lesson. I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about chocolate artistry............................................................

Good, but ...
What I liked about it is that he really goes into detail about the chocolate. I wish that certain chapters were more complete, for example, chapter 12 the bonbon, he doesn't show how to make the filling, I followed this course in English which is dubbed. The dubbing is terrible because it's not synchronized and it's often translated wrongly.
