New Learning Platform
We’re pleased to announce the successful launch of our new and improved online learning platform. All candidates can now enjoy unlimited access to all online course material, so you can revisit anything you’ve studied as you wish beyond 180 days. We’re also working to make more downloadable PDF summaries available for the Certificate and Diploma courses, so you can take your learning offline.
From Diploma to Director of Dál Riata Distillery
We’re delighted to see EWA alumni Ronnie Grant as one of three directors behind exciting plans submitted to local authority chiefs for the new Dál Riata Distillery in Campbeltown. Ronnie achieved our Diploma in Single Malt Whisky in March 2020, shortly before national COVID-19 lockdown restrictions were introduced. He said: “After doing the whisky course, it really did give me the confidence to do something in the whisky industry.”
