The WBA Beer Production and Quality Control module provides in-depth instruction in fermentation and maturation, quality control and quality assurance, together with an understanding of the science of fermentation and its role in defining many of the key attributes of finished beer.

Description

WBA Beer Production and Quality Control module can be taken individually, or as part of the WBA Advanced Brewing Technology, WBA International Diploma in Brewing Technology, or WBA Master Brewer programs.

This module offers in-depth instruction in fermentation and maturation, including all aspects of yeast handling and performance. It also includes instruction in the process of quality control and assurance, ensuring that students understand the critical role that QA/QC plays in retaining the consistency and longevity of beer and other malt-based fermented products.

This module is offered online and on-campus, both with distinctive advantages. The campus option will allow students to participate in vibrant classroom discussions and develop close networks with fellow students. The online option, on the other hand, allows students to advance through the module at their own pace, from the comfort of their office or home, without the need to travel.

If the online option is selected, throughout the duration of the module students are supervised by the instructional staff of the World Brewing Academy, drawing on the talents of some of the most knowledgeable scientists, technologists and brewmasters in the industry. Student progress is actively monitored throughout the program, and students can access instructors via email and chat sessions throughout the duration of the module. The average time spent studying is normally 7-10 hours per week but depends on the individual as well.
