The Institute of Brewing & Distilling (IBD) has announced the launch of a new General Certificate in Distilling in Spanish, demonstrating their commitment to the Spanish-speaking distilling community. The IBD, a leading educational charity, is renowned for providing the most recognized and prestigious brewing and distilling certifications globally.

The course is offered online and includes 60-80 hours of study, providing a comprehensive understanding of the science and technology of distillation.
The culmination of the General Certificate in Distilling is a twice-yearly exam, held in March and October, with thousands of professionals from around the world preparing for the certificate each year. This certification opens new opportunities for career advancement and professional growth within the industry.
