This 5-weeks-course is divided in 6 online modules. We recommend at 6 hours of study per week to cover the online activities and read the relevant chapters in the textbook. The course follows a weekly structure, which allow you to work ahead or catch up on the activities and forums. There are no set times to log into the course, as there are no live chats or webinars. The course prepares the student for the WSET® Level 2 Award in Wines examination and is guided by a WSET® educator. The student can contact the educator at any time during the scheduled course should they have any questions. Each week includes a series of independent and/or group activities to help students understand wine label terminology and recognize the styles produced by the main grape varieties in key wine regions.
Regular access and participation in the course online activities are essential for this mode of study. You are advised to taste a range of wines during your studies. A list of recommended tasting samples can be found in the course specification. You can post your tasting notes in the Online Classroom for review by the educator.
