Frequently asked questions
Do I need any experience before WSET Level 1 or Level 2?
No. Level 1 assumes nothing at all, and Level 2 only assumes you enjoy wine and want to understand it. Most of our Level 2 students have never taken a wine course before. Level 3 requires Level 2 (or equivalent knowledge) — contact us if you're unsure.
Can I skip Level 1 and go straight to Level 2?
Yes, and many people do. If you already drink wine with curiosity and can tell a Sauvignon Blanc from a Chardonnay most of the time, Level 2 is the right starting point. Still unsure? Read Which WSET level should you start with? or take our free practice quiz.
Where are the courses held, and in what language?
All WSET courses are taught in English at Hotel Parc Belair in Luxembourg City. Exams are sat in person in the same room on the final day of the course.
Is the WSET certificate recognised internationally?
Yes. WSET qualifications are awarded by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust in London, regulated by Ofqual, and recognised by the wine trade worldwide. Philosophy of Wine is a WSET Approved Programme Provider (APP 3336).
What's included in the price?
Tuition, all wines tasted during the course, the official WSET study materials, exam registration and your certificate. Lunch isn't included on full-day courses; canapés are served during the food-pairing session on Level 1.
Can I give a WSET course as a gift?
Yes — gift cards are available for the exact value of each level (€250, €700 or €1,300) and can be used on any date.
