How to register to a WSET course?
This is a simple procedure; having selected the WSET course, the student will then click on the ‘Buy now’ button and will complete the transaction. A Paypal email will immediately be sent to us with the name of the buyer and we will contact the student with a welcome email and a few questions to collect the details that are deemed necessary to complete his/her WSET registration in London. Following this, we will make an appointment for the pick up of the Study Pack (the books that are included in the course) or we will send the Study Pack by mail, whichever is deemed the most convenient. The student will equally receive a login access to the WSET course platform and we will schedule our first meeting to start working on the SAT, the WSET tasting technique. Et Voilà!
