How does someone become a WSET educator? And what's involved in the WSET's Educator Training Programme?
For many advanced WSET students, the transition to educator seems like a natural next step. But what does it take to become a successful WSET educator, and what does the training entail? WSET’s Educator Training Programme (ETP) is available for wines, spirits, and sake, and it is a vital part of the approval process WSET uses when people and organisations apply to deliver our qualifications. Every WSET course provider must have at least one educator who has completed the ETP for the qualifications they wish to offer. It’s through this programme that WSET seeks to ensure all students taking a WSET course, wherever they are in the world, have an exceptional educational experience.
In this session, we’ll explain what’s involved in this demanding yet highly rewarding course.
Please note, the ETP is currently only to those associated with an existing WSET course provider or who are in the process of an application to become a course provider. The process of setting up a course provider is covered here.
