Online butchery skills courses for beginners and seasoned professionals.
Taught by Master Butcher Dave Lang
We understand that many people would like to learn the basics of preparing meat. We also know that many butchers, chefs, and other professionals would like to brush up on their skills. But quality skills courses are not always available.
That’s why we created Butcher Craft, An Online course collection designed to deliver quality information as efficiently as possible. The internet is a great way of providing course material and helps us to help you.
You won’t need to travel long distances. Paying for expensive facilities is not required. You won’t miss out if you need to interrupt your training. Watch the course at your leisure. Rewatch sections to make sure you understand everything. Ask questions of the master butcher or the Butcher Craft community. Learn at your pace and become a proficient foodie.
