Malting Diploma Association
Welcome to the Malting Diploma Association.
The Malting Diploma Association (MDA) was formed in 1982 by successful candidates of the Maltsters' Association of Great Britain (MAGB) Malting Diploma examination.

The MDA aims to encourage the continuous development of its members to the benefit of the malting industry as a whole.
In addition, the MDA provides support to candidates working towards the Malting Diploma. This was the first such award in the malting world, and has attracted candidates from outside the UK for several years. The examination takes place every two years, and candidates from UK, the USA and Zimbabwe sat for the 2006 examination.

On behalf of the MAGB, the MDA provides the examination committee and support for candidates taking the Certificate of Malting Competence (CMC). The CMC is available to UK based employees of malting companies, other candidates are considered via agreement with the examining committee. The next CMC Exam will be held in 2009, and the syllabus available from the Publication section of this website from October 2008.
MDA membership currently stands at 44 of the 83 holders of the Diploma, with members working in the UK, Germany, Canada, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
