Brewing Course Outline

“Brewing in a Nutshell – Online” is a 100 % online course providing detailed basic knowledge of beer brewing. It covers the general principals of the brewing and malting processes, the raw materials and filling as well as packaging in theory.
The course consists of eight thematic learning units made up of seven and a half hours of high-quality video lectures held by our VLB instructors. The working time for the course is about 9 hours. On top, there are illustrated informative texts, graphics, additional material and more than 100 topic-related questions that the participant has to answer. The course language is English.

For detailed information about the content and lecturers, download the course brochure.

Brewing Course Concept

The course is based on our German and English in-person course, which more than 1200 participants have successfully completed since 1996. The total study time takes about eight to nine hours. From the time of the first login at our e-learning plattform, the participant has 3 weeks in total to work on all eight learning units. In this way, each participant has the opportunity to determine his/her own learning times and speed. At the end of each subunit, the learning progress is revised in the form of a small topic-related test. The tests consist of multiple or single choice questions, drag & drop texts or open questions.  The course is successfully completed, when the participant has passed all learning modules.
