About Level 1
The WSET Level 1 course offers a true beginner’s overview of wine, and is geared to anyone with an interest in wine for personal enjoyment or launching a professional career. It’s a particularly good starting point for people just beginning to work in restaurants, hospitality, or retail. Level 1 is a fun way to get up to speed on what wine is and how it differs by style.
The Level 1 course provides a systematized way of learning about and tasting wine, focusing on knowledge that is practical, hands-on, and designed to build a foundation for future exploration. The course will introduce you to basics of wine, broad different styles, simple storage and service rules, and easy techniques for pairing wine with a range of foods.
How does the Online Course work?
The course material should take about six hours in total to complete, plus revision time, and self-led access and participation in online course materials is essential for this mode of study.
Students are able to contact the course tutor at any time during their studies, should they have any questions.
Each module includes a series of independent activities to help you understand the differences between grape varieties and types and styles of wine.
At the end of the course, you’ll complete a short, multiple-choice exam (available online on a date and time of your choosing), and upon passing, will receive a Digital Level 1 WSET certificate and Digital Badge.
