Who we are

The WSET Alumni Body represents the 13,000+ individuals worldwide who have gained the WSET Diploma.

We aim to help foster mutually beneficial, lifelong relationships amongst the alumni community and to support the careers of our graduates as they go on to define the future of the industry. Our programme provides the alumni community with on-going learning opportunities, through specially developed content, events and networking opportunities.

 

Events

Throughout the year we host a programme of virtual events and a select number of in-person events in key regions where Alumni are located. You can check the event listing pages for details on upcoming alumni events.

Post nominal letters

WSET Diploma graduates are able to use the post nominal DipWSET to signify their academic achievement. DipWSET replaced the previous AIWS which was officially retired on 1 October 2015. DWSET and DWS are accepted alternatives for use in the United States.

Newsletter

Subscribed alumni receive our newsletter containing the latest news, content and event opportunities alongside special discounts and offers from many of our global partners.

Graduate list

Due to changes in privacy law (GDPR) in the EU, we have taken the decision to remove the full list of Diploma Graduates 1970 - 2021 from the public pages of our website.

The list will still be available to Alumni, saved in the WSET Global Campus. If you have any questions about this, please email us.

Such a great experience. Both the presentations and the networking were first class.
