Institute of Brewing & Distilling Examinations 2005

摘要

At the beginning of 2005, the name change to The Institute of Brewing & Distilling became effective. At the same time, changes to our qualification titles were also introduced, so that in 2005, for the first time, we have had candidates achieve the qualifications of Master Brewer (M.Brew.) and the IBD Diplomas in Brewing (Dipl.Brew.) and Distilling (Dipl.Distil.). In addition, as my predecessor (Jim Robertson) informed in his report last year, the Board of Examiners has been organised into sub groups looking after the examinations for the General Certificates, Diplomas (formerly AME) and Master Brewer (formerly DMB). Also this year, we have established a Distilling examination group (chaired by Brian Eaton), which will be responsible for all Distilling exams from next year. Other changes to examination structures are also planned, but more about these later.
