‘We are passionate about wine and want to share our knowledge with you’
Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET®) Level 2 Intermediate Certificate in Wines and Spirits
Available as a 3-Day Intensive Course
The Intermediate Course is an introductory level qualification intended for those who would like to know more about the absorbing business of wines and spirits, whether they are people who require a basic level of product knowledge to underpin job skills and competencies, or just love to share in the glories of wine as part of their lives as entertainers of their friends and family. For those involved in the hospitality industry; whether in customer service, sales functions, in the retail or wholesale supply industries, these skills are essential.
Upon successful completion of the course you will be able to interpret the somewhat mystical labels of fine wines and spirits, give basic guidance on appropriate selection and service, as well as knowing the principals of wine tasting and evaluation. In short; serve the customer better or be a better host.
