Congrats! That is something that I'd like to try and get, but still confused about the process.

Congrats! I took the tasting test March 9th - they told us we would have to wait at least 16 weeks. How long ago did you take the tasting exam?

Congrats!

NervousDad-

1) Find an exam that will be held in your area in the next year or so. Any closer to now will put you on a long waiting list.
2) Sign up with the exam administrator for one of the slots.
3) Study your butt off. Perhaps the admin will have a class that you can attend. If not, there are online exam classes and a lot of other study materials you can buy to help.
4) Pass the Online qualification pass/fail exam.
5) Practice! Taste and write up score sheets for a lot of beers.
6) Take (and pass) the tasting exam within 1 yr of passing the online qualifier.

Let me know if I can help.

4 months is about right at the moment, it's been 6 months or more in the past.
