CERTIFICATION
Fine Practice experience
The complete program range consists of 4 Levels – Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4 – WSET Diploma.
A separate certificate is awarded for each level upon successful completion of the exams, which is a prerequisite for enrolling and attending the immediately higher level of training.
Programme Levels
Level 1
Introduces candidates to the main categories of wines and, depending on the sales point they operate in – hospitality, retail, and/or wholesale trade – provides them with the corresponding practical training. The Level 1 curriculum examines the basic principles of wine tasting and food pairing.
In a short period of time, candidates acquire the fundamental knowledge of products and skills required by those directly involved in wine service and customer satisfaction.
Level 2
Covers commercially the wide range of wines in the global wine industry, examining each variety by country. The Level 2 programme, through the Systematic Approach to Tasting (SAT), enhances the practical training of sensory evaluation by teaching the typicity of world grape varieties.
It is suitable when a reasonable but fundamental level of product knowledge is required, complementing the skills and abilities of a job position, such as customer service and sales departments in the hospitality, retail, and wholesale sectors of the wine and spirits industry. It is also useful for those with a general interest in the subject.
Level 3
Enables individuals to assess the quality-price ratio through blind tasting. The SAT methodology focuses on blind wine evaluation to prepare individuals for the final examination of the Educational Programme, which includes, among other things, the blind analysis of two wines.
Knowledge of grape variety typicity and blind assessment of the quality-price ratio of wines is essential for those working in high-level positions in the wine industry (F&B Manager, Restaurant Manager, Chief Sommelier, Brand Manager, Sales Manager, Import & Export Manager, Chief Oenologist, Wine Producer).
