How does the programme work?
The barrels that are used to mature our whisky are key ingredient when producing some of our most iconic brands. As a cooper you will step into the very heart of whisky production in Scotland.
‘Our Cooper Apprenticeship is a 4 year, work based, assessed programme. You will spend 3 years learning the history of coopering and developing the skills and techniques of the physical craft of the trade before moving into our pioneering mechanical cooperage in your 4th year. Our apprenticeship programme is accredited by the Cooperage Federation and you will be required to pass a Trade Test in the final of your apprenticeship to demonstrate competency which will assess your capability and craft.
