WSET Intermediate Wine Course Online
Our first course will cover the WSET's Intermediate Certificate in Wines and Spirits.
We're currently finishing up the course and waiting to be approved by the WSET. We should be ready to let people buy courses early in 2010, with the first exams starting in March. Use our enquiry form to make sure that we keep you up-to-date.
Featuring the major grapes, 11 countries, technical background and over 70 wine tasting videos, this course is great for the enthusiastic consumer and ideal for staff in the drinks and hospitality industries who are serious about knowing their products.
Course Plus Exam
Available to use on your computer, our course follows the full WSET Intermediate syllabus.
It takes approximately 30 hours to complete the course, plus any extra time that you spend with all of the external links, bonus videos and supplementary materials. We recommend putting aside 2 hours twice a week to complete the course in 10 weeks.
Once you have completed the course you can book to take your exam with Tasting Sessions. Initially running in London, but with plans to expand based on demand, the WSET Intermediate Certificate in Wines and Spirits requires learners to take a one-hour multiple-choice paper of 50 questions, requiring 55% or higher to pass.
Launching Early 2010
Tasting Sessions will provide top-quality wine courses via your computer. Our first course is still being created by our wine, video and eLearning experts at Healthy Media. Our eLearning packages are rich in video, use voiceover throughout, have interactive games and challenges, and are so much more interesting than a book or a video. We'll engage you in not just learning, but experiencing wine too through our video Tasting Sessions included throughout our courses.
Register your interest now and we'll send you a 10% discount voucher when it's all ready, plus we'll keep you informed of our progress.
Videos, News and More
Keep checking back, or contact us to join the mailing list, as we'll be doing more than just this wine course.
Take a look at the videos page to see a couple of movies that we created a few years ago. These will be a regular feature of Tasting Sessions from the end of the year.
As the name might suggest, we're about more than just wine. Our aim is to be the best education source for all matters of taste...well matters of flavour anyway. While we are committed to bringing you the best wine education, we're also interested in subjects such as beer, cheese and chocolate.
