The Intermediate Training (IT) Course is a mid-level program for individuals who are ready to move beyond the basics. Each lesson goes into more detail on a specific product type and/or the equipment used to produce it. The specificity of each lesson provides a deeper dive into the manufacturing process. The IT Course provides insight into the various processes on the line, which are broken into steps or conversions including
- The formula

- Cooling, delivery, and packaging.
The lessons emphasize the importance of and reasons for following each step in the manufacturing process.
