To receive the VLB Brewmaster Certificate, the graduates have to finish the course and the exams in both blocks successfully. The extensive practical classes in our laboratories and brewery combined with further lectures starts on-site towards beginning of April– for this block the students have to come to Berlin.ĭespite the modified concept in 2023, the Berlin brewmaster education is still focused on a comprehensive, practice-oriented knowledge transfer and on an open dialog with the lecturers. With lectures and desktop studies in the theory block as well as the first examinations, the participants will prepare themselves for the mainly practical work classes in part two. Regardless of whether you choose the Virtual Campus or the Berlin Campus option, both groups listen to the same lectures at the same time. In order to provide an interactive learning experience, all lessons will be presented live by senior brewing professionals from VLB Berlin and partners. Q&A (question & answers) sessions, supplemented by daily turorials before and after lectures, will approach a broad range of relevant brewing and malting topics.
But students, who want to attend lectures personally at VLB Berlin, are welcome to do so (“VLB Berlin Campus”). all theory lectures from 09 January to approximately end of March will be held via video conference (“VLB Virtual Campus”). Brewmaster Course Outlineĭue to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Certified Brewmaster Course 2023 will once again be offered in hybrid format and will be divided into two blocks: The first part takes place as a hybrid event, i.e. The course conveys all the knowledge necessary for the technical management of a brewery. Due to the high share of practical training lessons in our brewery and labs the number of participants is limited. VLB’s flagship training course for prospective brewers is a 6-month full-time programme providing in-depth understanding of brewing technology with its related major fields of engineering, filling/packaging and quality control.
