Artisan Candle Certification Program

Become the candle maker everyone asks for advice.

Classes start 1 September.

You've poured candles before. Maybe you've watched YouTube videos, followed online tutorials or attended a beginner workshop. But if you've ever wondered why a candle tunnels, mushrooms, frosts, develops sinkholes or simply doesn't perform the way you expected, this course is for you.

The Lunico Candle Co. Artisan Candle Certification Program is a hands-on training experience designed to take you beyond following recipes and teach you the science behind exceptional candle making.

Over four months, you'll gain the knowledge, confidence and practical experience to create beautiful, high-performing soy candles while understanding exactly why each decision matters. Whether your dream is to create handmade gifts, develop your own premium collection or simply master a new creative skill, you'll leave with the skills to make candles you're genuinely proud of.

Unlike a one-day workshop, this program gives you the opportunity to create, test, troubleshoot and refine your candles over time, with expert guidance every step of the way.

Plus everything you'll need is included except for pots for double boiling at home.

Course Schedule

This is a four-month certification program, delivered across six sessions, three weeks apart.

The time between classes is intentional. You'll make candles at home as part of the program, so it allows your candles to fully cure so you can complete real burn tests, evaluate performance and return to the next session, with your candles, with questions and observations.

Classes are 5:30pm-8:00pm.

Who Is This For?

This program is perfect if you:

• Want expert guidance instead of endless trial and error
  
• Have attended a beginner workshop and want to take the next step
• Are tired of inconsistent results at home

No previous candle-making experience is required, although beginners and hobbyists alike will gain enormous value from the course.
