about the course
Our most popular
course, the Intermediate Course is an introductory
level qualification intended for those who have little
or no previous knowledge of wines, spirits and other
alcoholic beverages. It is suitable wherever a basic
level of product knowledge is required to underpin job
skills and competencies, for example in the customer
service and sales functions of the hospitality,
retailing and wholesaling industries. It is also
useful for those who have a general interest in the
subject. Holders of the WSET Intermediate Certificate
will be able to interpret the labels of the major
alcoholic beverages of the world, give basic guidance
on appropriate selection and service, as well as
knowing the principles of wine tasting and food and
wine matching. Knowledge or experience to WSET
Intermediate Certificate level is a requirement for
those wishing to prepare for the WSET Advanced
Certificate qualification.
The day release course is
taught over a period of three weeks with one full day's
lecture per week, with the examination on the morning of
the 4th day. The evening courses are taught over seven
weeks with one two and a half hour lecture per week, and
the examination in the eighth session. Assessment
consists of a closed book examination lasting one hour,
