WSET Intermediate Certificate
This course is perfect for those with a good basic knowledge of wine. It is the natural progression after completing the Foundation course. However, the Foundation is not a prerequisite before starting the Intermediate.
We have a large number of general interest wine enthusiasts as well as people working in the hospitality industry and wine trade.
