Acquire Professional Judging Skills — WBrC‑Focused 2‑Day Course
Are you passionate about the World Brewers Cup (WBrC) and eager to hone your judging skills with targeted, championship-level expertise? Our WCC Judge Skills Program offers a two-day, WBrC‑focused training designed to prepare you for high-level competition judging.
What You’ll Learn
-
Deep dive into WBrC judging criteria, scoring, and presentation evaluation
-
Hands-on practice with realistic sensory calibration and mock judging
-
Training grounded in the Coffee Value Assessment (CVA) system
Why WBrC-Focused?
The World Brewers Cup rewards clarity, complexity, and communication. This course prepares you for both:
-
Compulsory Service: Objective evaluation with supplied coffee
-
Open Service: Subjective scoring of a competitor’s own recipe, technique, and storytelling
Whether you're judging or competing, understanding these distinctions is critical to success.

Judges preparing for national or world brewer's cup certification
-
Competitors seeking insight into how their performance is evaluated
