The Institute
of Brewing & Distilling launches its
first short course for the distilling
industry, hospitality sector and whisky
lovers.
The Institute of
Brewing & Distilling (IBD) is launching
a new entry-level short course for the
spirits industry which should appeal to
whisky enthusiasts.
The Essentials in Distilling course has
been specially designed for
professionals working in a distillery in
supporting roles or in the hospitality
sector to educate them on the whole
distilling process. It is also perfect
as a starting point for anyone with an
interest in spirits and no experience in
the industry.
The course provides a multimedia and
interactive introduction to the
different spirits produced worldwide and
the processes used to make them.
The learning content includes insights
into the raw materials used to make
spirits and how they are processed,
fermented and distilled to produce the
different types of spirits. It comprises
units on cereal, molasses, grape and
agave spirits along with a module on gin
and vodka.
Learners can proceed through the course
at their own pace and enjoy engaging
text, illustrations and interactive
videos. The understanding of the
learning material is assessed throughout
the course using activities and
multiple-choice quizzes.
The course also offers downloadable PDF
summaries of the learning material for
future reference.
At the end of the course, learners will
receive a Certificate of Completion from
the IBD, the world's most recognised
learning provider in the drinks
industry.
On this launch, Tom Shelston, IBD Chief
Executive Officer, explained: "We aim to
offer high-quality education to anyone
who wants to know more about the basics
of how spirits are produced. Essentials
in Distilling is a great addition to our
new selection of short, on-demand and
self-assessed courses. The interactive
and multimedia content makes the
distilling process accessible to all
types of learners at an affordable
price".
The Essentials in Distilling course
learning time is approximately 10 hours
which can be done over 90 days where you
will have full access to unique
interactive content from date of
enrolment. The price of the course is
£99 and you can enrol at the Institute
of Brewing & Distilling website.
