National Distilling Institute

The Australian Distillers Association and the National Distilling Institute's goal is for distillers in Australia to be the safest, best educated and most innovative in the world by having a practical, vocational approach to education.

The National Distilling Institute, established in 2023, is a nationally recognised training organisation based in Victoria that offers best-in-class accredited and non-accredited vocational training for distillers across Australia. The National Distilling Institute is an RTO owned by National Food Institute RTO 3821(NFI). The ADA is the exclusive marketing arm for the RTO. The ADA does not own the RTO. The ADA partners with the NFI to conduct all of the marketing and course development.

ABOUT

The National Distilling Institute was established in 2023 with the support of the Victorian Government through the Victorian Distillery Door program. The National Distilling Institute is dedicated to the learning journey of distillers across Victoria and Australia.

In collaboration with the Spirts Victoria Association and the Australian Distillers Association, we aim to create a one-stop-shop for distillery courses, covering all areas of the distilling industry.

At the National Distilling Institute, we believe in providing more than just courses; we offer a holistic experience. Your classmates are other Australian distillers. You will learn from each other as much as you learn from the textbooks and experienced trainers. Whether you are a novice or have thirty year’s experience, there are courses for you to maintain your skills in our diverse industry.

Here at the National Distilling Institute, we're not just shaping distillers; we're crafting legacies. Cheers to the journey, and here's to the spirit of excellence!

The National Distilling Institute, a trading name of National Food Institute RTO 3821, is a registered training organisation with courses around Australia and the Australian Distillers Association is the peak body for the Australian distilling industry.
