Brewing Certificate Program Overview

Brewing Operations certificate holders are equipped to pursue a variety of careers in fields related to the brewing industry, such as food and hospitality, packaging and distribution, and manufacturing. Specific jobs could include server, bartender, cellar technician, packaging operator, and brewing technician, amongst others. The skills acquired would be suitable for students looking to start/change careers immediately upon graduation in a small- or large-scale brewery setting as well as for the average hobbyist looking to improve their skills on professional equipment.

Special Requirements

Classes which involve alcohol tasting, i.e., Sip and Spit Classes, allow students under the age of 21 (but 18 or older) to taste, but not consume small quantities of alcohol for analysis purposes. Any violation of this principle will in turn be treated as a violation of the law and will be prosecuted. Proper consultation and planning with the student’s academic advisor will be necessary to ensure that the course curriculum is finished within the recommended amount of time. Students must also be capable of lifting heavy materials (up to 60lbs) and standing for long periods of time.
