Welcome to the BJCP Training Portal
The purpose of the Education & Training Directorate is to develop, recognize, and encourage worthwhile continuing education opportunities for the BJCP membership. Participation by BJCP members in appropriate ETD opportunities will allow them to further their knowledge and enhance their judging skills, to an extent beyond the strict scope of the Beer Judge Certification Examination and in a fashion more responsive to the availability of information and the interests of the membership.
The program will establish new education opportunities and programs such as ETD sessions organized by third parties, development of ETD products and programs available directly from the BJCP, development of a Beer Vocabulary reference, and development of a Sensory Tasting Kit.
This site will allow the Education & Training Directorate to offer courses, programs, and virtual workshops directly to the BJCP membership. The site will also allow us to:
- Provide all BJCP members with the opportunity to receive education offerings regardless of location.
- Provide self paced learning opportunities to BJCP members.
- Provide growth opportunities to BJCP members who wish to contribute.
- Provide educational offerings in multiple languages per demand.
- Conduct membership wide training per new BJCP Board or Exam Directorate initiatives.
