Yesterday, CQI (Coffee Quality Institute/ Coffee quality Institute) issued a notice on the latest reform and adjustment of Q grader certification to everyone who has passed Q Grader certification and has signed up for Q Grader certification courses.

According to CQI, the Q Grader certification is internationally recognized for its professionalism and commitment to provide a consistent assessment of coffee quality. Passing Q Grader certification is not easy in itself, and everyone who passes the certification is a leader in coffee quality evaluation. Q Grader is an authoritative coffee professional certification system that can be trusted by the coffee industry, which is why there is a demand for Q Grader certification in various fields of the industry.

Therefore, in order to ensure the consistency of everyone participating in the Q Grader course and those who have passed the certification, CQI decided to complete a new project, Flavoractiv Calibration (Flavor Calibration), every year from January 1, 2023.

This is an independent course that can be completed by itself. Everyone who has passed the Q Grader certification must complete the flavor calibration every year, otherwise the certification will be lost, which means that the validity period of Q Grader will be adjusted from three years to one year.

One thing to pay attention to! Flavor calibration is only a new project that needs to be completed on its own every year, and the coffee cup test calibration every three years will be carried out as usual, but also with flavor calibration!

To put it simply, Q Grader's previous big test every three years has become an annual quiz-a big test in the third year + a quiz, but each test determines the fate of the certification.

So what's the difference between the new flavor calibration and the coffee cup test calibration? The difference is that the former does not require the presence of a Q Grader mentor. For flavor calibration, you only need to purchase food-grade capsules for calibration on the website designated by CQI, then mix and taste them according to the instructions, and then upload the answers to the exam website to renew the Q Grader certification.

According to the CQI official website, the annual certification exam will be divided into three periods: January 1 to April 30, May 1 to August 31, September 1 to December 31, to put it simply, one day for the exam 365 days a year! (so why divide it into periods?

)

At the same time, CQI also thoughtfully arranged a "big gift package" suitable for different people to correct together! Prices are as follows:

It's 160 dollars per person.

$375 for 6-12 people (about $31.3 per person)

$585 for 24 people (about $24.4 per person)

The content of each "big gift bag" will be different! Ladies and gentlemen, hurry up to find all your friends and sell them together!

After reading the email, a sentence sounded in my mind: "is there an annual renewal fee?" The more people, the better the discount! "

After taking all the exams, you have to continue with tears!
