Does anyone know of a UK based chocolate piping course? I specifically want to get my piping better rather than a general chocolate course. Is there anything out there at all? I've had a look around but can't find anything, also approached a local chocolatier, but had the comment that my piping looked ok from pics.

There is a Callebaut Academy in the UK, have you looked there? What sorts of things are you piping? Flat decorations? As with piping other things, the answer may just be practice, practice, practice.

I agree with the above post, I think YouTube, plenty of parchment, good melted chocolate and practice are going to be your best bet.

Thanks both, I am practising and am booked in on a showpiece course in November at the Academy, I was just hoping to get a bit of personal direction, so much better than books and the internet.

I agree, it really can be more helpful to see things live and be able to ask questions on the finer points. Are there any chocolatiers in the area you could meet with, maybe work for a day?
