| Program Detail |
: 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 |
