WSET Level 2 Award in Wines & Spirits (Reading) – a Africa interest event taking place on 2018-02-18 10:00:00 in United Kingdom
This exciting and structured course is the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Level 2 Award (formerly known as the Intermediate Certificate). You do not have to first complete Level 1 – you can jump in straight at this level (Level 2) if you like. Dates: The course will be run on three consecutive Sundays from 18th February to the 4th March from 10-5pm. If you cannot attend certain dates (including the first session) this need not matter – the materials are very comperehensive and if you do the reading and session revision questions you should be able to easily catch up on anything missed. The exam will take place at the end of the final session and lasts for one hour. The course is designed as vocational training in product knowledge for those employed in the drinks industry, but is also increasingly popular amongst people who want to study out of personal interest alone. If you have a serious interest in wine and wish to broaden your knowledge in a structured way this course offers you an internationally recognised qualification. WSET Level 2 Award in Wines and Spirits has full accreditation from OfQual as part of the UK Government’s Qualifications & Credits Framework as a Level 2 Vocational Qualification.
