Member Benefits
Join our network of industry professionals
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 become a member, renew your membership or access members-only resources on the new website between 1st January and 5th January 2025. We will get in touch with you on 6th January after the final testing and as soon as we have the customer login live again.
You will also not be able to book for a qualification or a short course between 1st and 5th January 2025. However, all registered candidates will continue to have access to the learning material on Moodle. If you are making a corporate booking, our corporate booking system will stay active during this time. Please email Corporatebookings@ibd.org.uk if you want to make an enquiry or a booking for your team.
