Despite of the common belief, that distilling is a mystical process in the column which you can't explain, we know that the process of distilling is not a mystery; it’s based on science. And as distilling is a science, it has rules. The courses of the iStill University are based on these rules. By learning the rules you can control the process and by controlling the process you can make award winning spirits with great taste and excellent quality!
Our Certified Craft Distiller Course is an online course with 23 subject divided into 3 to 6 video’s each. This course explains the modern theories of the whole distilling process, including mashing, fermenting, distilling, extraction and aging. The course also describes the difference between traditional and modern still design and teaches the basics of tasting and recipe development. At the end of the Certified Craft Distiller Course you can take the online exam to receive your certification. Certified students also gain access to our private University Facebook Group, where you can exchange questions and ideas with over a hundred craft distillers worldwide.

Since the Craft Distiller Course provides the theoretical basis for the Master Distiller Course applicants must complete the online course and exam first, before they are admitted to the Master Distiller course.
This course focuses on practical experience. The students develop their own recipes for different spirits (gin, vodka, whisky, liqueur) each day and then distill these spirits themselves using our 10L R&D machine, the iStill Mini. Our staff provides assistance during the distilling process and feedback at the end when we taste and compare the spirits distilled during the course. We also provide extensive training in taste profiles.
