FAQs
I’m still at school, can I do this course?
Yes, as long as you’re over the age of 18 years (at the start of the course), you don’t need any prior knowledge in wine for Level 1. It is a fantastic course for any school leaver looking to take a gap year and work in a bar, pub, restaurant or even a ski chalet!
Is this qualification recognised outside the UK?
Yes, all 9 WSET qualifications are globally recognised. So, if you’re planning on working abroad in the wine or hospitality industry, your WSET qualification will be recognised and will add gravitas to your CV!
How soon will I get my results?
WSET should issue your results for Level 1 30 working days after receipt of the exam papers being returned to them.
Will I get my certificate and pin at the end of the course?
No, once you have completed your course your examination papers will be sent to WSET. WSET should send Wineology your pins and certificates within 50 working days from when they receive it. Wineology will then send the certificates and pins directly to you.
Does the certification expire?
No, once you have the qualification, you have it for life!
Can my employer pay for my course?
Yes, many employers sponsor their staff through WSET training. This is a great way to support career development and encourage staff retention.
