April 23: Level 1 CCG Workshop in Frankfurt, Germany
The American Cider Association (ACA) is excited to collaborate with CiderWorld and Frankfurter Landwirtschaftlicher Verein e.V. to host an in person workshop for the Certified Cider Professional (CCP) Program Level 1 Certified Cider Guide (CCG) at their fantastic venue on April 23, 2025 beginning at 9:00 AM.
This workshop is meant for all, and is the first level of the ACA’s in depth international cider education program, Certified Cider Professional Program.
We have a fantastic session planned, including a Certified Instructor led in person training, and an “introduction to sensory evaluation” tasting experience featuring the five cider families. Participants of this workshop will also be able to take the test online immediately after the training or take the test at a later date.
Cost per person is $189 which includes the in person training, instructor led tasting experience, downloadable study guide and online exam fee. Please note that ACA members will receive $50 off registration. Email Education Operations Manager Jennie Dorsey at jennie@ciderassociation.org for the member discount code.
This is a great opportunity for the Frankfurt hospitality community and the broader European cider community to gather in person to attend the workshop and achieve their Level 1 CCG certification.
All are welcome! Please share this event with anyone who sells cider, works in a tasting room or retail shop, chefs, sommeliers, cicerones, buyers and cidermakers who are interested in cider education or in adding a cider certification to their accreditation.
