WSET, the global leader in drinks education, today launches digital certificates for its level one and two qualifications - a key development which reflects the organisation’s commitment to sustainability.
The new online certificates will deliver a range of other benefits to both students and WSET’s course providers. They include:
- Students will receive their certificates much faster.
- Students will be able to share their results more easily on social media and with current/future employers.
- Students will have the option to print their own certificate.
- Digital certificates are also more cost-effective and easier to administer for WSET’s course providers than paper certificates.
WSET’s course providers will now have the option to transition from paper to digital certificates and WSET will issue the first of these new certificates from this month (November 2024).
WSET’s Operations Director, Nicola Merchant said:
“We’re delighted to make digital certificates available to students who achieve our qualifications.
“Sustainability is integral to our organisation and we’re working hard to reduce WSET’s carbon footprint in many different ways. This includes significantly expanding our online course materials and using less paper-based resources. The launch of digital certificates marks the next step in our evolution towards greater sustainability.
“Providing digital certificates is also part of our ongoing efforts to better meet, and adapt to, the needs of our customers and to continuously improve our products and services in response to their feedback and future requirements. We’re confident that both our course providers and students will enjoy the many benefits offered by digital certificates.”
