To gain the qualification students need to pass a multiple-choice paper of 50 questions. This course is taught in three intensive days, with full morning and afternoon sessions each day, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Depending on the dates, sessions can be spread over three weeks, in the same day - generally Saturday - or concentrated in three consecutive days. Please check the calendar below for specific options. In all cases, the exam will be taken during the last hour of the final session.

Please note that you should enroll well in advance - at least three weeks before the starting date - so you will have time to prepare yourself studying the textbook. WSET states that to pass the exam an absolute minimum of 11 hours of private study is required. We strongly suggest studying for at least 20 hours, preferably one hour per day for 20 days, before starting the course.
