In addition to their popular classroom courses, WSET qualifications can also be prepared for through an online course of study which offers flexibility to complete study at a time and place. With weeks of lockdown ahead, the WSET Online Classroom is the perfect opportunity for alcohol beverage trade professionals (and enthusiasts) to access WSET’s globally-recognized education and qualifications in wine, spirits and sake.
