What are your options?
Are you an employer with multiple team members to train?
You have three options:
1. Book onto an existing course
You can book any available course/s on our website.
With this option, students will study alongside other people from outside your company – it’s a great way to network and meet like-minded drinks professionals and enthusiasts.
If you’d prefer to pay by invoice, email studentservicesteam@wsetglobal.com and we’ll help you process your booking.
2. Organise a private course
If you have 10+ people to train, we can arrange a private course for your staff.
This is a fantastic way to engage your team as a group without the distraction of other students.
We can deliver the course at WSET School London or discuss another venue of your choice. There is also more flexibility with dates compared to booking onto an existing course, and we can offer discounts for group bookings.
3. Request a custom course
Custom courses are our most tailored option for businesses looking for quality drinks training and have 10+ team members to train.
There many different ways you can customise our WSET qualifications, from personalising the tasting samples to a specific brand to adding supplementary content to the WSET material with a custom course.
Visit our custom courses page to find out more or get in touch to talk to a member of our team.
Are you an individual looking to gain a qualification to advance your career?
All you need to do is find the course you want to study and book on via our website.
I enjoyed learning the WSET method of tasting and have come away more confident. I would recommend this course to anyone who works in the industry or wants to build a greater appreciation for spirits.
