WHAT IS WSET®?

The Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET®) was founded in London in 1969 to provide quality education and training in wine and spirits to trade professionals. Since then, WSET® has become the global wine and spirits education institution. The range of qualifications available is sought after by both professionals and enthusiasts. The most commonly completed qualifications are the wine qualifications, which systematically build comprehensive product knowledge and tasting skills and cover all the world's relevant wines and wine regions.

​

 

WSET® works with a network of Approved Programme Providers (APPs) around the world. As an official partner, Grape Skills is subject to strict quality assurance measures to ensure that the high standards of the WSET® guidelines are maintained in both teaching and examinations.
