WSET® Level 2 Award in Sake
（Hybrid Course）
The Level 2 Hybrid course is composed by 7 theory sessions held online + 1 tasting sessions in the classrooms. The content is exactly the same as the classroom course, but it offers the comfort of following most of the lessons online.The exam will be in the classroom at the end of the course.
If you’re keen to explore the world of sake, then WSET’s new Level 2 Award in Sake could be the right course for you.
It is intended for anyone wishing to learn about the different styles of sake and how they are made, as well as those seeking to build on the introductory knowledge gained with the WSET Level 1 Award in Sake.
The WSET Level 2 Award in Sake focuses on how the ingredients used by brewers are processed and combined to create the many different styles of sake. It will also teach you how to describe and assess the quality of the sakes you taste.
If you are a sake or hospitality professional, you’ll be able to offer valuable guidance on selection and service to your colleagues and customers. If you are a sake enthusiast, you’ll know exactly what to look for when choosing sakes for any occasion.
Upon passing the certification exam, you will receive WSET certification and badge. The exam consists of 50 multiple choice questions (four options each). There is no tasting.
※ Textbooks will be sent in advance when the course starts.
※ This will be conducted via Zoom meeting. Questions and answers will be provided via voice communication during the class.
If you are unable to attend the class in real time, you can view the recording at a later date.
(A limited viewing period will be set.
※The certification exam will be administered in person, not online.
