WSET® Level 3 Award in Wines

The WSET Level 3 Award in Wines is designed to give a thorough understanding of the factors that account for the style, quality and price of the principal still, sparkling and fortified wines of the world. The qualification will assist those who are required to make professional evaluations of wines with regards to their style, quality and price.

The qualification provides the in-depth product knowledge required to underpin job skills and competencies, for example in product selection in the retail and hospitality sectors.
Successful candidates will be able to describe the characteristics of the principal wines of the world and give information on the key factors influencing style, quality and price. They will consequently be in a position to advise management, to answer customer queries authoritatively, and to make informed selections of wines in a variety of situations.

To help you pass the WSET® Level 3 Award in Wine, we have added the original Caplan curriculum as the 10th session for tasting preparation and the 11th session for theory preparation in the middle of the course.

In order to enhance proficiency, three online review sessions will be held after completing the 3rd Session, ‘Viticulture and Vinification’ , after the 14th session, and after the 16th session. If you are unable to attend the live online session, you can watch the recorded sessions (with a 10 day deadline for viewing).
