I'm currently a cellar worker at a brewpub and have previously interned at a different brewpub and now I want to start moving up in the industry. What are people's opinions on the correspondance courses provided by UC Davis vs. American Brewers guild (ABG)?
The UC Davis course has two options. The first gives a General Certificate in Brewing and Packaging from the Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD). This costs $1,700. The second option is called the Proffesional Brewers Certificate Program. That course costs $8,000.
The program from the ABG is titled the Crafter Brewers Apprenticeship. That course costs $8,000.
Basically what I would like to have answered is: 1. Which has the best reputation in the industry? 2. Is it worth the money for the $8,000 dollar course versus the $1,700 course? 3. Who has the best job placement assistance? If you were the owner of a brewpub, which diploma would you like to see on the resume?
Thanks for your imput.
