Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) is the gold standard of wine education. Qualifications are regulated by OFQUAL and are recognised worldwide.
Available in 3 levels to suit beginner, intermediate and advanced. Levels 1 and 2 are available online as well as in classroom, Level 3 is only taught in classroom.
WSET courses are designed both for hospitality/trade professionals and anyone interested in wine. The majority of students are NOT professionals. Shropshire Wine School has a very high success rate with WSET qualifications.
Wine Scholar Guild (WSG) qualifications take a different approach allowing a "deep dive" into specific wine-producing countries. At present this programme covers France, Italy and Spain with Germany coming soon. There are two levels, "Essentials" for beginner/intermediate and "Scholar" for advanced.
WSG courses are aimed at wine lovers, although there is much for the professional too. The wines are set in historical and cultural context and the exams whilst challenging, are purely multiple choice.
