“Absolutely loved doing the brewing course, learnt so much and really enjoyed the interaction content in the  modules,  especially the practical experiments,  as an engineer in the field I feel this has given me another string to my bow and the product knowledge is invaluable to assisting me when onsite.”

Karl Haigh

Cellar Service Technician, Greene King Cellar Service

"I work in the packaging centre and wanted to understand more about the processes that it takes to create beer and to better understand the foundation of the business I’m in. The interactive learning features enhance my learning experience extremely well. It’s been fantastic to learn how much actually goes into crafting beer."

Steve Nash

Cellar Service Technician, Greene King Cellar Service

"I felt I needed a refresher course on the basics of brewing to help me in my new job. This course helped me to meet my learning objectives extremely well. I thought the presenter was great and I liked the interactive elements of the course (the 3D visuals and animations). Whilst the course is basic in terms of technical information, it provides the learner with a great foundation to start from."

Richard Davies

“A well structured, easy to navigate and enjoyable way to learn.”

Dave Allard

Cellar Service Technician, Greene King Cellar Service

"I wanted to take this course to have an introduction to brewing. The pace is just right and the assessments after each section helped me to achieve my learning objectives. I highly likely would recommend Essentials in Brewing."

Euan Henderson

Distillery Manager    at Inver House Distillers

"I took the Essentials in Brewing to learn some brewing basics with a view to a career change. I have learnt the complexities of the brewing process that I assumed naively it was much simpler. I was very pleased if a little daunted at what I learned but also at how much more there is ahead!"

David Crook

Bar Owner and Civil Servant at Home Office

"This course was recommended by my employer and the lessons helped me achieve the learning objectives extremely well. I could move through at my own pace and go back over things if unsure. I highly likely would recommend Essentials in Brewing."

Yolanda O'Neill

General Manager at Thirsty Crow Brewing Co

"I have worked in the beer industry for 8 years in a variety of roles in Canada and now Australia, including being a facilitator for a highly regarded beer education program. I have now been a sales rep for over 3 years and wanted to refresh content I had previously learned through other beer education courses, and further expand my knowledge. My employer was happy to pay for the course, which was also a big incentive. These reasons, and the fantastic reputation of the IBD, made the decision to do the course an easy one! The variety of content delivery methods made the course fun and engaging. The quizzes and unit assessments were a great way to clarify what you had learned, and track your progress."

Niall McCorry

Sales Representative at Black Hops Craft Brewery

"I have been working at a brewery for around 6 months and I’m keen to learn more about what we do. The lessons, with all the interactive features, helped me to achieve my learning goals extremely well. The overall information provided is very easy to take in! I highly recommend this course."
