3 week course - Brewlab Certificate in Practical Brewing
Our 3 week course is ideal for those people who have decided to set up their own micro brewery. It enables students to enhance their knowledge of brewing theory and develop their practical brewing skills.

You will learn about microscopical techniques and how to implement these when creating quality control systems. You will be taken on supervised brewery visits and meet industry specialists.

Our experienced in house team is augmented by carefully selected experts to embrace other important topics including beer tasting, recipe formulation, business start up advice, marketing and brewery design.

Students who are successful in passing the course assessments will be awarded a Brewlab Certificate in Practical Brewing.

Some understanding of the brewing process, along with basic maths and chemistry, would be beneficial but not essential.

The cost includes 22 days residential student accommodation close to the Brewlab offices in Sunderland.
