It’s been a brilliant few weeks for whisky education across the globe and we’re proud to see so many of our international educators sharing the EWA approach in their corners of the world.

In Dubai, we were delighted to deliver our flagship Diploma in Single Malt Whisky to an enthusiastic group of candidates at Barrels & Beyond. Huge thanks to the ever-passionate Bharat Rathore and his team for being great hosts.

Over in Austin, Texas, The Whisk(e)y Marketing School‘s Daniel Whittington welcomed two groups to the legendary Wizard Academy for the Certificate in Irish Whiskey and Certificate in Sensory Appreciation.

Meanwhile in Türkiye, Yiğit Akdemir of Uzkeba made history by hosting the country’s first in-person Certificate in American Single Malt Whiskey – a huge milestone for whisky education in the region. Yiğit was the first educator to come on board as an Approved Course Provider. He has now delivered more than 50 Certificate courses and has certified more than 450 candidates which is a huge achievement.

Back in Scotland, we’re looking ahead to our next in-person Diploma in Single Malt Whisky, happening at the Port of Leith Distillery on 15 & 16 September 2025. With a few spaces still available, it’s a great opportunity to gain a globally recognised qualification in an exceptional setting right in the heart of Edinburgh.
