Short Courses Program

In keeping with its primary goal of helping confectioners manufacture better products through education and information, PMCA offers a series of specialized training courses. Each course combines classroom and hands-on training. The courses are held at the facilities of  a confectionery manufacturer or an approved university facility and are conducted by well-qualified facilitators.

The program has been designed to create opportunities for economical and practical training. Most courses are three-and-a-half days long in order to accommodate the regular job demands of participants.

Course topics may include:

• Caramel-Fudge-Toffee
• Chewing Gum Technology
• Chocolate and Compound Manufacture and Use
• Premium Chocolate Centers
