Slide 6
The General Certificate in Brewing (GCB) Designed for
candidates who may have little or no formal academic or technical
qualification. Typically, a candidate is employed as a senior
operator or team leader in a brewery or packaging plant; however,
the scope of this examination will enable candidates from smaller
brewing operations to obtain this recognized qualification. Exam
measures basic knowledge (theoretical and practical) of brewing,
packaging and associated operations and is open to anyone with
interest in brewing (who is dedicated to studying). The General
Certificate in Brewing can be an end in itself, or the start of
professional development career, leading to the Diploma in Brewing
(Dipl.Brew) and potentially, the Master Brewer (M.Brew)
examinations. Central Oregon Community College | 2600 N.W. College
