The WSET Level 2 Award is devised by the internationally recognised Wine and Spirit Education Trust (www.wsetglobal.com) and is the formally recognised course that is followed by those entering the wine and hospitality trades. It can be comfortably achieved by those with little or no previous wine knowledge. A selection of wines will be tasted at each session, offering a broad introduction. The course also teaches tasting techniques from which to build tasting experience. We cover the syllabus in eight sessions and the examination is sat in the ninth session by way of a 50-question multiple choice paper to be completed within one hour. The course cost covers WSET examination fees, WSET course materials, WSET accredited tuition, use of Berrys' equipment and Berrys' tasting samples. Course materials are sent to you in advance after registration. Picnic style refreshments are also included.
