WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines
WSET's flagship Diploma will arm you with specialist-level understanding of the world of wine. Diploma graduates are recognised throughout the world as authoritative wine experts. The course not only develops advanced product knowledge but will also hone your research and analysis abilities, skills which will continue to be hugely valuable to you in the future whether you're in the trade or a serious enthusiast.
Semester Delivery
Semester courses split the six units of the Diploma into two separate semesters. This has the benefit of allowing you to spread the cost and commitment of the Diploma over two years. You must enrol for and complete the study hours for Semester One before you can enrol on Semester Two. However, you are not required to have received your results or passed all the examinable units of Semester One before you enrol on Semester Two.
Online Courses
Delivered through our Online Classroom platform, this flexible study option is ideal for those who can’t attend regular classroom sessions and would like to complete the course during hours which work around their commitments. Your learning will be supported throughout by our excellent online educators, as well as your fellow students.
Please note that tasting tutorials and examinations must be attended in person.
