WSET Intermediate - Saturdays

Saturdays for four sessions starting 28th August -

This exciting and structured course is the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 2 certificate and is intended as vocational training in product knowledge for those employed in the drinks industry who have little previous knowledge of the broad range of alcoholic beverages available. The qualification is suitable wherever a good level of product knowledge is required to underpin job skills and competencies.The course is also appropriate for those not employed in the drinks industry but who have a serious interest in wine, and wish to broaden their knowledge in a structured way. This qualification has full accreditation from the UK Government’s Qualifications & Curriculum Authority as a Level 2 Vocational Qualification.

"Enjoyed the whole course but particular credit should go to Jimmy for his teaching style & his contagious enthusiasm." (Gary, WSET Intermediate, June 2010)
