Description

Siebel Institute of Technology offers the most comprehensive draught training in the industry, and we are proud to offer this innovative course that allows students to choose the level of training that meets their skill level, their budget and their goals.

Courses offer a mix of technical theory and hands-on activities presented in facilities dedicated specifically to draught training, with industry-leading content and instruction throughout the class. For those looking for training that will take them from little-to-no knowledge of draught to complete understanding of the technology, the five-day Draught Master course will build your knowledge through extensive and in-depth content.

The first two days of the course offers novice-level draught training, providing the skills needed to understand draught dynamics from keg to glass. The following three days build over that draught knowledge to give students the skills and confidence required to address more demanding draught-related challenges.

The Draught Master course blends theoretical fundamentals of dispense with “hands-on” practical application using a wide range of brand kegs. Simple mechanics, physics, fluid dynamics, chemistry, microbiology, draught beer math and basic customer skills form the core of the curriculum along with content addressing refrigeration, service of non-beer beverages and much, much more.

Installation and Projects Manager - Leaders Beverage Consulting, Chicago, IL

They pack as much into a 5-day course as they can. The depth of knowledge possessed by the instructor Marty Schuster is vast and his teaching style is engaging and efficient. After the course, my buddy and I took over the draft system duties at a renowned beer bar in Chicago. The hands-on experience we gained while applying the theory we had learned with regard to draft system theory and maintenance (including recirculating cleaning) led us to open our own draft company. I currently work with Leaders Beverage Consulting as their Installation and Projects manager, and I apply the knowledge I gained in this 5-day course every single day.
