An introduction to the WSET Level 1 Systematic Approach to Tasting Wine® (SAT).
How the Online Platform Works
Flexible Learning: Access course materials, activities, and practice exercises 24/7, whenever it suits your schedule (recommended private study: at least 3 hours a week).
Dedicated Online Tutor: You will be guided and supported by official WSET Online Tutors to clarify any doubts.
Digital Materials: All study texts and resources (including revision videos, flashcards, and exam tips) are fully integrated into the online platform. No physical books will be shipped.
Language: The course, study materials, and platform are delivered exclusively in English.
Samples: Wines are not included. To get the most out of your practical tasting, we recommend you taste a minimum of 6 wines during the course. You can ask your educator a guided shopping list on what key styles to source locally.
Technology Requirements: We recommend using a laptop or desktop device with a reliable internet connection. To sit your exam online, you will also need one additional smart device (such as a smartphone or tablet).
