Program Quiz Added to Certified Beer Server Exam
In order to improve understanding of the Cicerone Certification Program and achieve greater distinction between the first two levels, we have added a mandatory quiz on the program to the Certified Beer Server exam. The new quiz will be given separate from the main Certified Beer Server exam with no time limit, but candidates must achieve a perfect score before proceeding on to the main exam.
