Gin Production Course
The Gin Production course gives you the knowledge essential for producing exceptional gins, consistently and at minimum cost.
As we transition to becoming the Chartered Institute of Brewers and Distillers (CIBD) on 1st January 2025 with a new website, you will not be able to book any courses or qualifications between 1st January and 5th January 2025. If you have already booked a qualification or a short course with us, you will continue to have access to the learning material on Moodle.
This Continuing Professional Development course has been designed in collaboration with leading gin distillers, using the most up to date scientific and technical information. It will give experienced distillers the tools and knowledge required to master gin production. It should also give those new to distilling a sound understanding of the ingredients, equipment and processes used to make great gin.
The course will benefit experienced distillers from organisations of all sizes.
This course features text, videos and animations, along with quizzes and games, that give you the opportunity to check your understanding of each section and extend your learning. There are also top tips from distillers who are renowned for their gins.
Your learning is assessed as you go through the course and when finished, you will receive a Certificate of Completion as a record of your Continuing Professional Development.
You will also have access to downloadable technical information including:
- A summary of the key points of the course
- Descriptors of all the important gin and botanical flavour compounds
