PROFESSIONAL DISTILLING TRAINING

*Practical Industry Hours are not required for program completion and certification but are invaluable for the variety of real industry experiences they provide and are highly recommended to achieve the full level of experience and practical knowledge intended by the program. We recommend a minimum of 14 hours outside of scheduled class time. All hours are coordinated with our supporting industry partners.
