The Institute of Brewing & Distilling (IBD), the leading provider of technical education in the brewing industry, has unveiled a new continuing professional development course aimed at distillers and quality professionals.
Spirit Sensory Analysis is the first IBD course in the spirits sector and is intended to help participants improve product quality through sensory analysis. The course consists of interactive multimedia material, including videos, animations, quizzes and games, as well as a downloadable PDF with technical information.
Upon completion of the course, learners are issued with a Certificate of Completion.
Stuart Howe, Technical Learning and Development Manager at IBD, said: “Whatever the size of your distillery, this course should help you better understand spirit flavour and get the best value from your sensory endeavours. It may also save you spending money on the services of companies providing sensory management systems and training. We are confident that not only will you enjoy the course, but it will also benefit your career, your distillery, your products, your consumers and your sales volumes!”
Tom Shelston, IBD Chief Executive Officer, added: “The Spirit Sensory Analysis Course is our 5th short course within a year, demonstrating the IBD’s commitment to establishing a continuous professional development pathway in the drinks industry. This new short course reinforces this commitment and shows our dedication to the spirits sector.”
