A fair complaints procedure: our commitment to you
At WSET School London each of our customers is important to us, and we believe you have the right to fair, swift and courteous service. Once we are in receipt of your complaint we will deal with it promptly, effectively and in a positive manner.
The school operates a complaints procedure through which it aims to resolve concerns as quickly as possible. A complainant may be a student or prospective student. All complaints will be taken seriously and dealt with impartially. We aim to assist students in resolving issues regarding bookings, courses or non–exam related concerns and to promote a positive experience.
WSET School London will do its best to resolve student complaints relating to academic and non-academic issues in a timely manner with the aim of settling a formal complaint within 20 working days or less. On occasion, the process may take longer, especially if the complaint advances to senior members of the school. Records of students’ complaints will be retained for two years. No student will be criticised or retaliated against for using this procedure in a cooperative manner.
If you have a complaint or concern that you wish to raise, please contact Student Services on studentservicesteam@wsetglobal.com or call us on +44 (0)207 089 3841.
