FAQ

Although there are no prerequisites for doing WSET Levels 1-3, here the guidelines we suggest to our students:

To choose between Level 1 and Level 2, you should first consider if you have enough wine experience. This includes; exposure to structured wine classes, reading wine books, drinking different types of wines often or even worked in wine-related industry before. If you are already familiar with “major grape varieties + countries” and “basic tasting technique/food and wine pairing”, it is possible for you to directly join the Level 2 course. If you are still unsure whether you go directly to Level 2, we recommend starting from Level 1 and progressing from there.

If you are choosing between WSET Level 2 and 3, here is the advice that our wine educators give:

If you are able to distinguish major grape varieties by tasting the wine or you have the ability to blind taste wines, you can try joining Level 3 directly. Sometimes, candidates wish to directly join our Level 3 course because they have been in the related industry for more than 8 years. In this case, he/she can directly join Level 3, however, we recommend these students to attend every session and try avoiding skipping any lessons.

For students taking Level 1 classes, we do not recommend students arranging a make-up class for their own benefits.

For Level 2 and Level 3 students, we can always make arrangements for you to attend another class of the same course to make up for the absent class. However, an administration charge will be incurred for all make-up class requests after course starts. In order for us to arrange a make-up class more effectively, please let us know your absent as soon as possible.
