WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines Program
New
On Campus
Our WSET Level 4 Diploma in Wines Program helps you get the product knowledge and analytical tasting skills you need to be able to explain and evaluate wines. It aims to provide you with specialist knowledge and understanding of the core principles of the production and business of wine. In-person classes allow for regular guided tastings and a consistent pace towards diploma achievement but also flexibility in your approach. Learn from teachers who are all experts in their fields – including winemakers/viticulturalists, retailers/marketers, Masters of Wine, and import agents – and a team with a proven track record for guiding your studies. The depth of their experience will help guide the research process for the final unit.
This course follows the curriculum of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET). For more information about the WSET Level 4 Award in Wine, read the WSET Level 4 Award in Wine Specification.
