(JUNE 26 2017 – Chicago) Today, the Cicerone® Certification Program announced the launch of its BeerSavvy® online training course in Spanish. This 5-8 hour online course covers the areas tested on the Certified Beer Server exam, which includes the history and flavor profile of beer styles, proper service techniques, and fundamentals in brewing. The Certified Beer Server exam is included in the training cost. BeerSavvy allows Spanish speakers to join more than 85,000 beer professionals worldwide who have already earned the Certified Beer Server title.
“BeerSavvy has become an invaluable tool for individuals interested in building a foundation of beer knowledge,” said Ray Daniels, Founder and Director of the Cicerone Certification Program. “We’re extremely excited to offer this resource to a new audience and further beer education worldwide.”
The Cicerone Certification Program is built around a series of four professional certification exams starting with Certified Beer Server and ending with the top-level Master Cicerone. In the coming months, additional resources and tools will become available through the Spanish website to help beer professionals prepare for exams and access the second-level Certified Cicerone exam in the new language.
With roots in the American craft beer movement and in-depth coverage of classic European beer culture, the Cicerone program has become the global standard for assessing beer professionals since its launch in 2008.

ABOUT THE CICERONE CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
Founded in 2007 by brewer, author, and beer educator Ray Daniels, the Cicerone Certification Program seeks to ensure that consumers receive the best quality beer at every service occasion. To facilitate this, those who sell and serve beer are encouraged to acquire knowledge in five areas: 1) Keeping and Serving Beer, 2) Beer Styles, 3) Beer Flavor and Evaluation, 4) Beer Ingredients and Brewing Processes, and 5) Pairing Beer with Food.
The Cicerone Certification Program certifies beer professionals at four levels:
Certified Beer Server
Certified Cicerone®
Advanced Cicerone™
Master Cicerone®
To date, more than 80,000 individuals have been certified through the program.
