The Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) offers globally recognized qualifications designed to build knowledge and confidence in wine, from beginners to industry experts.
Each level increases in depth, detail, and expectation of study, making the progression a journey from introduction to mastery.
WSET Level 1 is the entry point, perfect for those new to wine. It introduces the basics of wine styles, simple food and wine pairing, service, and storage. The course is approachable and requires no prior knowledge, making it ideal for beginners, casual enthusiasts, or those starting in hospitality.
WSET Level 2 goes a step further, offering a broader foundation. Students learn about major grape varieties, key wine regions of the world, labeling terms, and the factors influencing style and quality. It balances theory with tasting practice, giving learners a solid understanding of global wines.
WSET Level 3 is more advanced and analytical. Here, learners explore viticulture, winemaking, and global wine regions in depth, linking production choices to the style and quality of wines. Tasting is approached systematically with greater precision, and the exam requires both short written answers and tasting evaluations. This level suits trade professionals, serious students, or enthusiasts seeking deep understanding.
WSET Level 4 (Diploma) is the pinnacle of WSET qualifications and is highly respected worldwide. It demands rigorous study and covers six units: wine production, the business of wine, wines of the world, sparkling wines, fortified wines, and an independent research assignment. This level develops advanced analytical and research skills, preparing graduates for senior roles in the wine trade, education, or further study such as the Master of Wine (MW) program.
