This Level 1 Award in Wines is a 4-week, 7 module online learning program with educator support available during the course. The course modules should be followed in order, but students are free to complete the modules at their own pace during this 4-week window. The course material should take about 6 hours in total to complete, plus revision time. Regular access and participation in the course online activities is essential for this mode of study.
The course prepares the student for WSET qualifications and they are guided by a WSET online educator. Students can contact the educator any time for the duration of the scheduled course, should they have any questions. Each module includes a series of independent activities to help students understand the differences between grape varieties and types and styles of wine.
Students are advised to taste a range of wines during their studies, and a wine tasting kit with six wines is included in the course fee. Upon registration, students will be advised of additional recommended wines to taste. Students can post their tasting notes in the Online Classroom for review by the educator.
Online study materials will be sent to the student’s email address between March 28 and April 4 by the WSET. Students will be automatically registered to take the online exam on Saturday, May 8 at 10AM.
