The Chartered Institute of Brewers and Distillers (CIBD) has announced the launch of a new technical course for distillers. The course, titled “Packaging for Distillers”, aims to equip distillers with the essential knowledge for working effectively with a packaging operation.
The course, developed in collaboration with experienced distillers, packaging professionals, and suppliers, is the latest addition to the popular Continuing Professional Development (CPD) short courses offered by the CIBD. It is designed for distillers of all levels, providing a practical understanding of packaging materials and operations for spirits and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages.
According to Stuart Howe, Technical Development Manager at CIBD, effective packaging is crucial for the success of a distiller. He explains, “Our success as distillers is usually determined as much by the quality of our packaging, as it is by our skill as a distiller. Effective packaging enhances our reputation. Bad packaging destroys it. This course provides you with the knowledge required to ensure that your packaging is always effective!”
The course includes a downloadable PDF with technical information, such as a detailed summary of the course content, troubleshooting tips for packaging operations, and details of quality checks. It also features engaging text, videos, animations, quizzes, and games to enhance the learning experience. Upon completion, learners will receive a Certificate of Completion, without the need for a formal exam.
The CIBD is the leading provider of technical education in the distilling industry and is highly recognized within the industry. The Packaging for Distillers course upholds the institute’s standards of technical excellence and is a valuable asset for distillers looking to ensure a cost-effective and sustainable packaging operation while maintaining the quality of their products.
