Our social impact

We believe education has the power to transform lives.

Beyond delivering world-class drinks qualifications, we’re committed to making a difference through our social impact initiatives. These include scholarships and funded education programmes that support underrepresented communities and promote greater inclusivity within the drinks industry. By partnering with like-minded organisations around the world, we aim to help to build a more accessible, equitable and sustainable future.
