The Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) is the world’s leading provider of qualifications in wines and spirits. Established in the UK in 1969, WSET’s qualifications are now recognized as the international standard by both the industry and enthusiasts. Since 1969 over half a million students have chosen to take a WSET qualification.
We are pleased to be able to offer the courses for WSET Level 1 ,Level 2 and Level 3 Award in Wines. Students can take the corresponding exam after completing the course.
WSET courses focus not only on identifying wines, but also on understanding the factors that influence their style and quality. Through the courses, students will develop both their knowledge of wine and their tasting skills.
The WSET Level 2 Award in Wines is a beginner to intermediate level qualification exploring wines for those working in the industry or wine enthusiasts.
For individuals seeking a core understanding of wines, this qualification explores the major grape varieties and important wine regions in which they are grown. You’ll learn about the styles of wines produced from these grapes as well as key classifications and labelling terminology.

Upon successful completion, you will receive a WSET certificate and pin badge, and you will be eligible to use the associated WSET certified logo.

※Starting from August 2025, certificates will be issued digitally, replacing the previous paper certificates. A physical badge will be sent to you separately.
※Please note that all sessions are conducted in English only.
