WSET Courses

We’ve had a number of recent enquiries from our customers with reference to learning more about how things operate within the spirits industry. I wanted to provide details for anybody who may be interested in training foundation courses and have provided the detail for you to inquire direct.

The WSET head office and WSET School are located in London. The address is Wine & Spirit Educational Trust, International Wine & Spirit Centre, 39-45 Bermondsey Street, London, SE1 3XF, telephone number: + 44 (0) 207893800, e-mail: wset@wset.co.uk.

They provide a number of courses to suite all levels of candidates from the novice to the professional. I’ve outlined some examples below of the kinds of courses available:
