THE Tennent’s Training Academy and Wellpark Brewery is offering nine lucky students free scholarship programmes.

The scholarship programme is seeing the emerging talent of Scotland’s hospitality industry delve into hands-on masterclasses worth more than £10,000 with a team of industry experts in whisky, wine, cocktails and beer.

The nine students, chosen by Hospitality Industry Scotland, will have cocktail training with six times Scottish Champion David Monaghan and heading behind closed doors of the brewery itself to learn about the production process.

Laura Hepburn, training and events manager at Tennent’s Training Academy, said: “One of Tennent’s core values is to give back to the Scottish hospitality industry and we’re happy to be able to facilitate this at the TTA in partnership with HIT Scotland for the first time.

“We want to equip our future hospitality leaders with all the training they’ll need to raise the level of service across Scotland.”
