This is an intermediate-level qualification exploring spirits and
aromatised wines for those working in the industry, or spirits enthusiasts. This
qualification is intended for beginners wishing to learn about a wide range of
spirits.
You'll learn about the fundamental production methods and
principal raw materials, discovering how they are used to make the key spirit
styles. You'll also explore key practices and principles of serving spirits and
the use of spirits in cocktails.
The course is very suitable for people
who are not employed in the drinks industry but wish to learn more about the
subject. However, it is important that potential students appreciate that this
is primarily a professional development course for the hospitality industry and
is approached in that way by our tutors.
The specification for this
course can be found here.
The course will be run in an intensive format over 3 weeks at the Prince Wine Store – 40 Hansard Street, Zetland. There will be an exam on the final day. You will receive your results and a certificate within 8 weeks of completing the course.
Because of the intensive nature of the course we advise that you collect your reading materials well in advance of the course date.
There is a $160 fee to re-sit the exam should you not pass and a $100 fee is you do not turn up for the exam.
