Take the Certified Pommelier Exam at Minneapolis Cider Company!
Ready to take the next step in your professional development in the cider industry? If you have already passed the Level 1 Certified Cider Guide exam and are looking for that next challenge? Now is your chance!
The American Cider Association is pleased to announce a Certified Pommelier Exam will be held at Minneapolis Cider Company on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. The exam will begin promptly at 8:30 AM.
*Level 1 Certified Cider Guide certification is a prerequisite for taking the Certified Pommelier Exam. (Haven’t taken your Level 1 Certified Cider Guide Exam? Buy the bundle here! ACA Member discounts are available.)
There’s also a discount code available for ACA members for the Certified Pommelier Exam. You can find that code in our Resource Hub.
WHAT IS THE CERTIFIED POMMELIER EXAM?
The American Cider Association’s mission is to grow a diverse and successful cider industry by providing valuable information, resources and services to our members and by advocating on their behalf. One way to fulfill this mission is through the Certified Cider Professional Program, a program aimed at educating the front-line of cider hospitality (distributors, retailers, bartenders and more!) while also welcoming journalists and serious cider enthusiasts.
The exam for the introductory level certification, Certified Cider Guide (CCG), is an online test that can be taken at any time. The exam for the more advanced second level of certification, Certified Pommelier, is only available in person. The exam consists of two parts, a written theory exam comprising short answer and essay questions and a blind sensory evaluation of a number of ciders. Passing the introductory level exam is a mandatory prerequisite to sitting for the Level 2 Certified Pommelier exam.
Certified Pommeliers must have a fundamental understanding of all topics covered at the introductory level, but must also be able to think critically and demonstrate a deeper understanding of cider and the cider industry.
The topics covered in the exam are:
Apples, the Orchard & History
Cider Making
Flavor & Evaluation
Cider Families
Keeping & Serving
Food & Cider
Social Responsibility
The exam is meant to be challenging. The only information necessary for successfully passing the theory section of the exam is contained in the Certified Pommelier Study Guide available on Amazon. To study for the evaluation section of the exam, candidates should consider attending one of the sensory analysis videos available through the ACA’s website or attend one of the regularly scheduled webinars. Access to pre-recorded webinars and registration for upcoming live webinars is available directly through our website.
Earn your Level 1 Certified Cider Guide accreditation and enjoy a tasting experience at France 44!
The American Cider Association is excited to collaborate with France 44 to host an in person workshop for the Certified Cider Professional Program Level 1 Certified Cider Guide. Participants will have the opportunity to complete the online certification exam immediatly after the training or on their own at a later date.
Cost per person is $189 which includes the in person training, instructor led tasting experience, a downloadable study guide, and access to the online certification exam. ACA members can contact Education Operations Manager Jennie Dorsey for the discount code to receive $50 off their registration.
This is a great opportunity for the Minnesota cider community to gather in person to network and earn their first level of cider certification. Registration to this event will also include a 15% discount to France 44 retail store and a celebratory cider on their roof following the event.
We would love to see anyone who sells cider, works in a tasting room or retail shop, chefs, sommeliers, cicerones, buyers, cidermakers, and anyone who loves cider. All are welcome to begin their cider education journey by adding this cider certification to their accreditations.
Cider is great… but with BBQ, it’s even better! Come get a taste of both at the Minnesota Cider Guild’s Cider & BBQ event. Your ticket gets you entry and unlimited samples of cider from over 12 different Minnesota cideries. There will also be two food trucks, Baptism River BBQ and Rollin Nolen’s BBQ, serving up the eats (food purchased separately).
