Cicerone® Certification Program Launches in Canada
Today, we're happy to announce the launch of the Cicerone Certification Program in Canada.
While Canadians have been participating in the Cicerone program at all levels since it was launched in January of 2008, the Cicerone organization has adapted the program to the Canadian market based on input from Canadian brewers, bar owners and educators. Changes affect both the syllabi and exams for the first two levels of the program: Certified Beer Server and Certified Cicerone®. Changes from the US versions include things like drinking age, alcohol distribution and some aspects of beer style descriptions.
The new syllabi will be used for all Canadian Certified Beer Server and Certified Cicerone exams starting on March 1, 2014. Exams prior to that date will still be based on the US syllabus.
Canadians can access Canadian content by clicking the country flag in the upper right hand corner of the website.

Cicerone Certification Program
Founded in 2007, the Cicerone program conducts examinations of beer knowledge for certification at four levels. Thousands of people who work for breweries, beer wholesalers, restaurants, bars, liquor stores and grocery stores have completed one or more levels of the certification program in the past year. Doing so demonstrates knowledge of beer keeping and service, beer styles, flavors, brewing process and ingredients and beer and food pairing.
