Who should become a Training Partner
Successful Training Partners are passionate about cheese and professional training. We currently boast a highly skilled group of cheesemakers, cheesemongers, cheese writers, wholesalers and restauranteurs as Training Partners, teaching both trade and consumers audiences.
As an approved Academy of Cheese Training Partner, you can deliver our industry recognised certifications as part of your business offering. Whether you are training your staff, consumers or fellow cheese professionals, becoming an accredited Training Partner creates a new income stream for your business.
Becoming an accredited Training Partner is a straightforward process for those with existing cheese knowledge and industry experience. The requirements simply ensure consistency and quality, requiring completion of the Level One Associate and Level Two Member certifications and attendance at one live, in-person or virtual classroom–based Level One or Level Two course with a Training Partner.
Becoming an Academy of Cheese Training Partner created a useful extra income stream for the business. We enlist an external trainer to run our courses as we don’t have anyone with teaching experience in the business (of course we would retain more income if we did). It’s a proven way to excite keen consumers and influence key customers. Holding the courses on the farm or even digitally gives our delegates a great insight into our cheesemaking.
