Artisanal Food & Beverage Skills Standards Available for Use

Industry welcomes the development of the new Certificate IV in Artisan Fermented Products and  Diploma of Artisan Cheesemaking, along with associated skill sets and units.

The two new qualifications were developed over a 12-month period and designed to support the unique skills needed for the hands-on approach of artisanal fermented food and beverage production.

The final draft documents have now been endorsed by the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) and State and Territory Ministers, and are available for use by industry and registered training organisations.

This will give future generations of cheesemakers and fermenters access to the skills they need, supporting the industry as a whole.

The skills standards have now been published on training.gov.au, within the FBP Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Training Package.
