Event Description

Come and study with a Master of Wine

Five consecutive days (Monday to Friday) in one week - Exam one month later

This well-structured and in-depth Level 3 certificate is designed for anyone wishing to gain comprehensive knowledge of wines and build upon the knowledge gained at Level 2. You will acquire a thorough understanding of the factors influencing the style, quality and price of wines from key wine producing regions of the world. You will also develop analytical tasting skills using the systematic approach to tasting as tasting will be part of the examinations. This qualification has full accreditation from the UK Government’s Qualifications & Curriculum Authority as a Level 3 Vocational Qualification and provides the knowledge required for those wishing to progress on to the Diploma Level 4.

If you are an employer wishing to train your staff this course will equip them with knowledge and understanding of a wide range of products. This course is suitable for someone in a supervisory level position in wine sales and service.

KEY DETAILS:

  • The term 'intensive' is due to the shorter nature of the course (over consecutive five days) - the amount of content is exactly the same as a normal Sunday course.
  • Please be aware that this is a very in-depth course compressed into a shorter time-frame. This course is ideally for those that have studied the book beforehand and/or have wine industry experience.
  • Registration closes for this course 2 weeks before the start date (if you do wish to register after this date you will be required to pay a late fee of £25 - please email info@lothianwineschool.com to see if we can register you)
  • For the condensed course we will post your study pack to you in advance. Please note that postage can take up to 10 working days. Please let us know the best address for your study pack to be sent too. 

L3 INTENSE COURSES - WHO ARE THEY FOR?

  • We run the condensed course for those who wish to obtain the Level 3 award in a quick turnaround, ideally for those who have a sound understanding of wine or those that passed the Level 2 Award with Merit/Distinction.
