WSET Level 1 Award in Wines Online

WSET® Level 1 Award in Wines Online

The course is based on a 4-week, 5-module online learning programme with online tutorial support. The course modules should be followed in sequential order over the 4 weeks and take approximately 6 hours to complete.

You can complete each module independently, at your own pace. Each module contains learning materials and exercises to help you understand the differences between grape varieties and wine types and styles. During the course, you will learn how to describe the wine you have tasted simply but accurately, and a WSET instructor will be on hand to help you if you have any questions. You can contact the instructor at any time during the online course.

And you can upload your tasting notes in the online classroom for a WSET instructor to review.
