The WSET Level 3 Award in Wines is designed to give a thorough understanding of the factors that account for the style, quality and price of the principal still, sparkling, and fortified wines of the world. The qualification will assist those who are required to make professional evaluations of wines with regards to their style, quality, and price. The qualification provides the in-depth product knowledge required to underpin job skills and competencies, for example in product selection in the retail and hospitality sectors.
Successful candidates will be able to describe the characteristics of the principal wines of the world and give information on the key factors influencing style, quality and price. They will consequently be in a position to advise management, to answer customer queries authoritatively, and to make informed selections of wines in a variety of situations.
The course consists of nine modules. Students are also required to attend a one-day tasting tutorial and present in-person for their exam. Students are given nine weeks to complete the course, so should aim to complete one module per week. A recommendation of 10 hours study per week is given to cover the online activities and read the relevant chapters in the textbook. A certified educator will guide students through the course.
