Here’s how it works: You get full access to the official WSET online learning platform for 4 weeks. There are no live classes or fixed schedule — you can log in whenever suits you, and each week introduces a new topic through videos, exercises, quizzes and flashcards to help the content stick. You’ll also have access to an international forum moderated by your tutor, where you can interact with other students and ask questions along the way. You’ll also receive your textbook in PDF format, so you can keep it and refer back to it whenever you need. An optional tasting kit, developed specifically for the WSET programme, is also available: it includes 10 beers in standard format, so you can taste along as you learn. Once you start, you have a full year of access to the platform, so you can revisit the content whenever you like, well beyond the 4-week programme.
