    i am a certified cicerone beer server. I've been studying up to get my second level certification...which is as far as I plan to go.

    I'm sure there are a fair amount, and I would also guess that there are many more people who could pass the server exam easily but don't feel like paying $70 to get a certification that means nothing if you don't work in the industry.

    I've been planning to do it for some time, i'm not currently in the industry right now but hope to be at some point...worth the investment?

    Actually you are a Certified Beer Server in the Cicerone Certification Program. Congratulations on that and good luck on Cicerone Certification. Make sure you know the proper designations for the test. Ray and the program are very particular about the way you present your credentials and they outline it in depth on the site.

    I got Cicerone Certification in October 2012.

    yeah...I woke up 20 minutes ago after 3 late nights of working...I've been working with one other coworker on trying to pick the different characteristics out of beers.

    Thanks man. I think anyone who is interested in the cert should give the test a shot. Can't hurt, especially if you're as enthusiastic about craft beer as most are around these parts.

    I'm a Certified Beer Server, which helped me get my current job that I love. Several of us at the bar are studying to take the Cicerone exam later this year. Wish me luck!

    Almost my entire staff are Certfified beer servers. We pay for the exam if they pass and they get a small hourly raise. I think it's worth it.

    I got my Certified Beer Server certification this past year and looking to become a Certified Cicerone this year, as well as a certified Beer Judge through the BJCP. I am trying to build up my beer credentials through these certifications, as well as winning homebrew competitions, and volunteering at a local brewery.

    Great to see so many BAs are Certified Beer Servers. As for me, I'm more of a drinker than a server.
    Cheers!

    I'm a Certified Beer Server, and hoping that my work agrees to pay for my Cicerone exam sometime in the next few months.
