WE DEVELOPED & PUT OUR AC CRUSHING METHODS TO THE TEST!
Even before launching the AC Coaching Program, we helped several people beat the Advanced Cicerone exam!
ANUDEEP MUTYALA OF BANGALORE, INDIA
Advanced Cicerone, beer educator, founder of A Bier Guy
Huge shout out to my buddies at the Beer Scholar! They helped me at every step of the way to pass the AC exam. Their honest and critical feedback about how I could improve my essays, build up my beer vocabulary, and more effectively demonstrate my skills and knowledge to the graders was critical. I had to travel 9,000 miles to the US to take the tasting exam and I hadn't had many of the classic examples in a long time - they aren't available where I live. I got trained by Scott Fielder before the tasting exam, it was very challenging but he helped me grow my technical and consumer descriptive vocabulary, off flavor compound knowledge, and blind style identification.
If you're serious about passing the Advanced Cicerone exam I highly recommend the Beer Scholar coaching program!
CHRIS CROWE OF IRVINE, CALIFORNIA
Advanced Cicerone, Head of Sales at Radiant Beer Co - 2021 GABF Small Brewery of the Year
I simply would not have passed the Advanced Cicerone exam without Scott's tutelage. Anybody can acquire the books and chart their own journey, but you run the risk of zeroing in on irrelevant aspects, overfocusing on exam areas worth fewer points, or completely missing something critical. Scott's coaching methods are relentless: he demystifies the exam format; demands specificity in every practice answer; and motivates you to keep digging deeper in all knowledge areas - all with an infectiously cordial teaching personality. Scott transformed my test-taking anxiety into total confidence.
Becoming an Advanced Cicerone has equipped me in every corner of my beer industry life. I know how to listen and engage with everyone from a brand new beer drinker up to the head brewer at the local brewery. It's been huge for my career.
Do you want to maybe pass, or do you want to crush the exam? If you want to crush it, I highly recommend you enroll in the Beer Scholar coaching program!
STEVE MIRANDA OF ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
Certified Cicerone, passed the AC tasting exam with an 86%
Scott Fielder's training for the Advanced Cicerone tasting and oral exams were critical to my success. In our study sessions he helped me develop great flavor descriptors among many other beer skills. He also created and proctored several practice exams for me that helped me go into the exam feeling totally prepared. I was especially nervous about the oral exams, but it turned out the practice sessions with Scott were scarier than the real thing with Master Cicerone Neil Witte! I chalk that up to all the practice and feedback I got ahead of the exam. There were no surprises on game day. Now on to the written exam!
TARYN ARVOLD OF SISTERS, OREGON
Certified Cicerone, crushed the AC written exam with an 87%, Consultant & Sensory Specialist at Wolf Tree Brewery & Oregon Brewlab
Worth the time and $!! When I started studying for the Advanced Cicerone written exam I had two little ones under the age of 3, so I had to make every study opportunity count. I had seen a lot of the Beer Scholar videos on YouTube and reached out to inquire about AC exam coaching.
Scott's training was invaluable. From going over what to expect on exam day, to the practice essays, to just making himself accessible to answer any questions on any subject. The essay portion of the exam is where I spent the majority of my exam time and it was extremely useful to have some kind of idea how the questions would be worded and areas of the syllabus essay questions are likely to arise from.
I can’t recommend their program enough. It helped me pinpoint focus areas, manage my time, figure out proper wording and overall gave me an approach to answering questions as effectively as possible.
5 stars! 10/10!
