WSET Level 3 Distance Learning is based on a structured 9-week online program with a recommended 10 hours of study per week to cover online activities and read the textbook chapters. The course follows a weekly structure, but allows students to work ahead or catch up on activities and forums. There are no set times to connect to the course, as there are no live chats or Webinars.
Regular access to and participation in the online course is essential for this mode of study. Each week includes a series of independent activities that guide the student through the world’s major wine regions, examining the factors in the vineyard and cellar that influence wine styles.
You’ll study the world’s leading wines in detail, exploring the principles of viticulture and winemaking, as well as the world’s most important wine-growing regions. Numerous in-depth tastings will help you learn to recognize the different styles and types of wine.
You will take part in a compulsory one-day tasting and exam preparation course at the training center.
