Who we are

The WSET Alumni Body represents the 12,000+ individuals worldwide who have gained the WSET Diploma.

We aim to help foster mutually beneficial, lifelong relationships amongst the alumni community and to support the careers of our graduates as they go on to define the future of the industry. Our programme provides the alumni community with on-going learning opportunities, through specially developed content, events and networking opportunities.

Post nominal letters

WSET Diploma graduates are able to use the post nominal DipWSET to signify their academic achievement. DipWSET replaced the previous AIWS which was officially retired on 1 October 2015. DWSET and DWS are accepted alternatives for use in the United States.

Graduate list

Due to changes in privacy law (GDPR) in the EU, we have taken the decision to remove the full list of Diploma Graduates 1970 - 2021 from the public pages of our website.

The list will still be available to Alumni, saved in the WSET Global Campus. If you have any questions about this, please email us.

The WSET Alumni Body replaced the Institute of Wines and Spirits (IWS) on 1 October 2015. Alumni still using the AIWS post nominal are encouraged to transition to the new post nominals at their earliest convenience.
