60 hours (University of Tasmania) + 80 hours (CIBD)
Master the science and operations of craft brewing through this blended course combining University of Tasmania expertise with CIBD certification. Ideal for brewers seeking to enhance their technical knowledge, operational skills, and industry connections.
This course is designed for individuals currently working in the brewing industry or those wishing to enter the sector. No formal prerequisites are required, though basic understanding of brewing processes is beneficial. Participants should have access to a computer and internet connection for online components. The course welcomes both experienced brewers seeking to formalize their knowledge and newcomers to the brewing industry.
The course covers three main areas: (1) Science-based modules including the beer-making process, commercial brewery operations, and underlying scientific principles; (2) Operational management covering production quality, reliability, safety, environmental management, health and hygiene, and engineering considerations; (3) Practical application through simulated work environments and industry immersion. Content includes self-paced online modules, virtual workshops, and a two-day face-to-face industry workshop in a Tasmanian brewery.
The University of Tasmania partners with FermenTasmania and the Chartered Institute of Brewers and Distillers to deliver industry-recognized education. This collaboration ensures content is current, relevant, and aligned with global brewing standards. The inclusion of CIBD certification provides internationally recognized credentials, while the two-day industry immersion in a Tasmanian brewery contextualizes learning in real-world settings.
Graduates can advance their careers as brewing operations managers, quality assurance specialists, or head brewers in commercial breweries. The CIBD certification is globally recognized, opening opportunities in international brewing operations. Participants may also establish their own brewing ventures with enhanced technical and operational knowledge, or transition into brewery management, consulting, or technical advisory roles.
