The Institute and Guild of Brewing?s General Certificate in Brewing and Packaging is a new qualification in brewing science, in which passing the program?s culminating examination allows brewers to obtain an IGB qualification without having to pass the rigorous Associate Membership Examination.
The Institute and Guild of Brewing has chosen UC Davis Extension as the world?s only distance learning instructional provider for the General Certificate in Brewing and Packaging Exam Preparation Program. Earning the General Certificate in Brewing and Packaging gives international recognition of an understanding of the principles and practices of brewing and packaging operations.
The General Certificate in Brewing and Packaging Examination tests knowledge of practical brewing sciences, arts and skills, without the intense scientific and engineering focus of the Associate Membership Examination. It is therefore a suitable qualification for those brewers who have much brewing experience and knowledge, but who do not have a formal background in science or engineering. The General Certificate in Brewing and Packaging of the Institute Examination might also be attractive to those non-professional brewers who feel their practical brewing knowledge approaches professional levels and who wish to demonstrate their acumen.
The program focuses on:
- an overview of the brewing and packaging processes
- fundamental biological, biochemical and other principles in beer production
- fundamental principles of beer packaging
- beer quality and its management
contamination
- plant cleaning and maintenance
- water, effluent and utilities |

Java is quickly becoming the de facto programming language for the World Wide Web because of its ability to simply create distributed, portable and robust applets. When applets are embedded into a Web page, the page is brought to life with truly interactive content, animation, graphics and sound.
Specifically, Java is an object-oriented language that is used to create modules that run on UNIX, Windows and Macintosh operating systems without recompiling. These modules may be stand-alone applications or embedded applets within a Web page. The course includes:
- lecture, demonstrations, assignments and projects that deal with the Java language and environment
- Java class libraries, including Abstract Windows Toolkit (AWT)
- Debugging and exception handling
- threads and synchronization
You will learn the Java programming language and will be introduced to its class libraries, including the special Abstract Windows Toolkit library used for developing graphical user inter-faces. |

The software development life cycle encompasses problem definition, problem analysis, coding, testing and debugging, and documentation. The biggest challenge for programmers is learning how to define and analyze a problem to produce results that can be converted into a successful computer program.
Learn to analyze problems and then use tools such as top-down design, structured English (pseudocode) and flowcharts to convert the problem analyses into sets of statements that can, in turn, be converted into computer programs. |
