The National Distilling Institute launched its first course in Certificate IV in Artisan Fermented Products (Distilling) yesterday. Local member for Albert Park Nina Taylor and Australian Distillers Association CEO Paul McLeay joined the Spirits Victoria Infrastructure and Safety Chair Sam Slaney and Victorian Industry Development Officer Seb Costello to get the first intake of students underway with their studies.

The initial intake of students will spend the next year studying a range of nationally accredited subjects as they develop significant skills in the theory and practice of operating a distillery.

The National Distilling Institute expects to have a second intake of students in June 2024, so if you are interested in developing the skills of yourself or an employee, check out the Australian Distillers page for the Certificate IV as well as the updated Training & Education pages of the Australian Distillers.

This initiative has been proudly developed by the National Distilling Institute, Spirits Victoria and Australian Distillers Association.
