The objective of the Diploma is to give international
recognition of comprehensive knowledge and understanding
in the principle of brewing science and technology. It
is an important qualification in it’s own right, as
well as representing the necessary thorough grounding
for an application to the Master Brewer Exam (formerly
DMB Exam).
The exams are arranged in three modules, covering:
| 1. |
The Science of Materials & Wort. |
| 2. |
The Science of Yeast & Beer. |
| 3. |
Packaging & Process Technology.
Note that there are major changes to this section.

Modularisation of the syllabus is designed to allow
for a wide range of candidate’s specific backgrounds,
whereas those with appropriate science degrees might
choose to take all three exams within a year of
commencing study, the syllabus is equally applicable to
those with appropriate work experience, who have the
opportunity to tackle the work load over a period of
time.
In order to sit the Diploma, candidates must be fully paid
Members of The Institute of Brewing & Distilling. The
three modules may be sat in any order and in any
combination. There are currently no time limits with
regards to completing all three Modules.
2009 Application Forms will
be available from August 2008.
