This qualification is popular for wine and spirit employees and will give students excellent and comprehensive product knowledge. The course is also suitable for interested consumers.
The course is based around a 9-week structured online program with a recommendation of 10 hours study per week to cover the online activities and read the relevant chapters in the textbook. There is also a 1 day tasting tutorial.
The course follows a weekly structure, but it allows the student to work ahead or catch up on the activities and forums. There are no set times to log into the course as there are no live chats or webinars.
Weinschule Krömker KG does provide the relevant and current WSET® study materials for this course which will be sent to you post payment. Revision of the WSET® Level 2 materials is recommended.
The course prepares the student for our qualification and they are guided by a WSET® educator. The student can contact the educator any time for the duration of the scheduled course, should they have any questions. Each week includes a series of independent and/or group activities that guide the student through the key wine regions of the world looking at the factors in the vineyard and winery that influence wine styles. A one day tasting tutorial introducing the Level 3 tasting technique run by Weinschule Krömker KG is included.
Students are advised to taste a range of wines during their studies. A list of recommended tasting samples can be found in the specification. Students can post their tasting notes in the online classroom for review by the educator.
