What level of knowledge will I need to start Level 3 Advanced course?

The course is open to students who hold the Level 2 Intermediate Certificate in Wine & Spirits. However we recognise that there are students who may have experienced and knowledge in the wine business that is equivalent to the Intermediate Certificate, these students can gain access by successfully completing the Level 3 Advanced online entry test.

There is also an online option available for those who are unable to attend classes due to their location or busy schedules (please see online courses for details).
