WHAT IS WSET®?
The Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET®) was founded in London in 1969 and is now recognised as the world’s leading provider of wine and spirits education. By completing a WSET course in the UK, you gain internationally recognised qualifications in wine and spirits.
WSET qualifications are highly regarded by both industry professionals and passionate wine lovers. The most popular are the WSET wine certificates, which combine practical product knowledge with professional tasting skills. These programmes cover all major wine regions worldwide and provide an excellent foundation for a career in the wine trade or for developing in-depth wine knowledge.
As an official partner, Grape Skills offers WSET courses in the UK under the strict quality standards of the institution. All training and examinations follow the official WSET guidelines, ensuring a recognised and high-quality wine education.
