Opportunities for 2025/2026

We offer recognised qualifications to help enhance and progress your career within the malting industry. These are lead by industry professionals who will support you throughout your journey and aim to also provide you with relevant training along the way.

A qualification from the MAGB helps you prepare for the challenges ahead in demonstrating your expertise to colleagues and employers in the industry.

Our Learning Programme is updated regularly. Do check here periodically for further information as it becomes available.

Should the need arise to change any of these arrangements, these will be negotiated with those who have signed up for our various events before any final decision is made.
