What Previous Candidates Are Saying?

“Having not studied for a formal exam in around 30 years, the exam techniques and how to interpret keywords in the questions were really useful. The sessions helped me to understand aspects that did not make sense at first and aided my ability to retain the information. Our tutor was excellent. His level, style, passion, and supportive approach were upper quartile”.
Will Weston
Brewer at Bowland Brewery
"The TGL was a great way to learn brewing theory while working and living on a remote island. The tutorials went into topics in-depth and the tutors were very amenable to questions (very patient, engaging and motivating too)! In all three modules, they went beyond what I would have expected by discussing related issues. Quizzes and exam tips techniques were very useful to prepare for the exam".
Dr Zanna Scott-Drew
Laboratory & Quality Manager at Cretan Brewery
"The TGL program was fantastic for helping to develop a deeper understanding of concepts through practical examples and facilitated discussions. I also found it important for improving my confidence in answering a variety of problems."
Marie Claire Jarratt
Beverages Technology Manager at Asahi Beverages
“I liked the level of interaction with the tutor and the other students in sessions very open and engaging. The weekly tutorials were a great tool to keep the study momentum going from January to the exam in June. Attend in-person to learn from tutors and fellow candidates”.
