The WSET Level 1 Award in Wines is an introductory wine course for those starting a wine career or just wine lovers
Who does the course work?
Online course works in that only the theoretical part is held online, i.e. through the Zoom application, while the wine tasting and the test are held live in the Academy's premises. Online lectures are taught as if you were in a classroom, so you have direct communication with the lecturer. Attendees follow the presentation online and are always able to ask the lecturer questions. A participant who chooses this type of training must have a good internet connection. After the student registers, he needs to make a payment, after which he receives the necessary literature. After listening to the online part, the participant should come to the wine tasting, as well as to the test. Online lectures are held in one day for 3 hours. The tasting lasts 3 hours, and the test 45 minutes. You choose the date of the course! All lectures, exams and literature are in English!
