WSET Online

No. Once you have passed the exam, you will hold the WSET certificate for that level. There will be no difference with having attended a presencial course.

For Level 1 courses, no physical study pack will be issued. All study material will be included in the online classroom. For Level 2 and 3 Wines study packs, students can choose between physical study packs or eBooks. For physical packs, courier costs to any Spanish mainland address are included in the course price. For delivery to an address outside mainland Spain, please contact us for a quote. 

All courses include tasting modules, along with a list of recommended tasting samples. You can view the list of samples by clicking on the relevant course’s page below, under ‘Tasting modules’/’Optional equipment and tasting samples’. You will be provided feedback on your tasting notes by your course educator.

Sample kits can be purchased from e-tasting, which include all recommended tasting samples for the certification (e.g. 40 samples in the case of WSET Level 2). However, it may be more cost effective and enjoyable to source full-size bottles of the references required for the tasting modules of the online course (e.g. 14 references in the case of WSET Level 2).

It is important to note that, while tasting is an important element of learning for the WSET courses, there is no tasting exam at Levels 1 and 2. 

Online courses are taught in English. Study materials and exams will also be provided in English.

A presential exam at Wine Courses Barcelona’s central location (Hotel Aranea) is included in the course fee. Students will be offered a minimum of 4 available exam dates, which will take place throughout the year. Students will be contacted with upcoming exam dates as their courses are coming to an end, and asked to confirm their attendance by the registration deadline.

For Level 1 and 2 courses, online exams are available with a €30+IVA surcharge. For more information on remotely invigilated exams, please click here.
