The Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) offers the only internationally recognised wine courses in SA. WSET courses are the first choice not only for anyone looking to build a career in wine or hospitality, but are also perfect for all enthusiastic wine lovers wanting to increase their knowledge through the world's foremost wine education today.

WSET Level 3 is a highly professional course, suitable for senior professionals within the wine industry as well as enthusiastic and knowledgeable wine-lovers who want to acquire a good level of familiarity with international wines and spirits. Note you do not have to complete earlier WSET levels in order to attend this course as your experience and knowledge of wine to date can be taken into account.

The course lasts for four full and busy days during which the students will learn about the world’s greatest wine-producing regions, the factors affecting production, quality, value and style. There will be at least 80 wines and spirits, most of them international, tasted during the course giving students a thorough grounding in the Systematic Approach to Tasting© a system used in most major international competitions. This is a rigorous and intense course which requires students to augment their classroom studies with further reading in their own time. The course will run on four days Monday thru Thursday with exams on Friday.

Because there are no internationally recognised sommelier qualifications available in SA, this course is a popular one with people working in restaurants as a sommelier and provides an excellent grounding for people wanting to continue their education with the Court of Master Sommeliers and other internationally-recognised sommelier qualifications.

All tuition, all course materials, exam fees, food and wine pairings, tasting of over 80 international and local wines & spirits and a certificate with lapel pin when you pass are included. Successful students at Level 3 are also permitted to use the WSET accreditation on their personal correspondence, business cards etc as well.

Please note applications must be received by Friday 8th August as all students are required to be registered with WSET in London prior to attending a course.
