MiraCosta’s 280-hour BrewTech Program is designed to train students to become productive brewers while gaining confidence in the brewhouse, cellar or packaging line. As one of the premiere craft beer programs in the San Diego area with an on-site brewery, this class focuses on ‘grain-to-glass’ hands-on experience and trains students to become turnkey brewery technicians.

San Diego State University's Professional Certificate in the Business of Craft Beer program provides hands-on training for those looking to enter or are already working in the brewing industry on the business side, rather than the brewing side of operations. This includes creating passionately knowledgeable management and staff in the hospitality industry to give customers a first-class experience.
