I received word from BetterBeerBlog friend and Mad Zymurgist Brian Cooper that a BJCP Exam Prep Course has been scheduled and is coming up. For those of you interested in becoming a BJCP judge, this is a great course to take. I know the people who are scheduling this prep course and this class will have a huge emphasis on passing the exam. There will be beer provided for the tasting portion but I am not sure how many. Instead of retyping the details, I’ll just copy and paste them below.
The course is planned for Wednesday evenings from 7/22 to 9/23 (6:30 PM to 9:30 PM). Classes will be held in the Livermore / Pleasanton area. We’ve lined up several great instructors for the course so far, including David Teckam, Kevin Pratt, Nathan Smith, Jim Files, and others.
The fee for the prep course + exam is $75; this includes full exam fee, certain study materials, quizzes graded weekly, and some of the beers for the course. The exam will be held on 10/3, from 12 noon to 3PM in Pleasanton. If anyone is looking to take the exam for the first time (or to improve their existing score), I would be happy to send a syllabus.
If you’re re-taking, naturally the course fee would be lowered. Please contact me at brewerbrian@sbcglobal.net if interested. Let me know whether you’re taking the exam for the first time, or re-taking — and if it’s the latter, whether it’s a partial or full exam.
