WSET Level 3 Award in Wines - Online & London
Our WSET Level 3 Wine Course in-person classes are located in Hammersmith, West London and are all live-streamed via Zoom if you prefer to join the class from home, with a set of 54 x 50ml wine samples to taste at home and the exam in-person in West London.
High Student Success Rate
Our pass rate for the live-streamed L3 is 80% - one of the highest for WSET course providers around the world (typically 60% of students will pass the Level 3). We know our large collection of online resources, such as the flash cards and mock exam questions, make a huge difference, with 50% of our students in 2022 achieving the top Distinction award in the tricky theory exam. With our method of training students in the WSET's SAT (Systematic Approach to Tasting), 94% of students passed the tasting paper in 2022, almost all online students! Students will taste wines with our tutor but also by themselves as homework and in the optional tasting groups. The tasting groups are popular as they allow students to get to know each other better over Zoom.
Course Format
Our WSET Level 3 Award in Wines course is run as a six day course running over 6 consecutive weeks with the exam, in-person, on Day 6. A different exam day can be requested if you wish to defer to a later date.
