Courses on request
Custom courses in English can be held at Scuola del Cioccolato Perugina® throughout the year. You can send a specific request to our booking centre by calling 800800907 free of charge or sending a request form via email (click here to access). A custom private course will be created based on your needs in terms of time, budget, type of course, occasion or event (birthday, graduation, parties for friends, anniversaries, hen or stag dos, learning-educational workshops for schools, meetings, conferences, team-building events for companies).

How classes are formed
Courses are led by the Maestri of the Scuola del Cioccolato Perugina® and held in a specific cookery area with 14 stations with all the tools you need.
Under exceptional circumstances and following an agreement with the person making the booking, the stations can be used by 2 people at the same time, so the number of participants in the course would be 28.

Type of courses

The Scuola del Cioccolato Perugina® provides consumers with a wide variety of courses covering different themes and techniques to cater for the needs of a varied public ranging from beginners to experts. Via the website of the Scuola del Cioccolato Perugina®, you can select a course both by reference period and type.

What the course involves
The Maestri of the Scuola del Cioccolato Perugina® will teach you to process chocolate with simple tools, so that you can repeat the recipe at home. Processing chocolate always involves showing manual tempering and/or how the technique is carried out, an essential step in making chocolate glossy, crunchy and ready for the different creations.
At the end of every course you will be given a diploma or a certificate of attendance, the recipe, the apron of the Scuola del Cioccolato Perugina® and, of course, the artistic creations you made during the course.

Disabled people
The courses of the Scuola del Cioccolato Perugina® are open to disabled people as well. Bear in mind that the course will involve the use of tools requiring caution, such as knives, hot plates, forks, etc. Before making your booking online, contact our call centre if there are disabled people with limited ability to use this equipment and we will be able to provide all the information in this regard to meet your request. In this case, specify the presence of disabled people when filling in the booking form.
