NOTE on the current status of NEWA,
​WSET Students and the Coronavirus situation

As of today (July 30, 2020), New England Wine Academy is able to schedule exams for all candidates. We are also offering an expanded selection of WSET classes via online education, with the additional option of the in-person or remote exam offering, which is a new development form WSET in just the past month, or so.

For the moment in CT, we are able to schedule live, in-person exams, where all compliant regulations are in place, including social distancing and full sanitation practices in out facility.

Also, New England Wine Academy wants to assure its current students that there will be no disruption to online studies. All existing and scheduled class sessions are taking place.

Many students will be wrapping up studies from the spring on August 1, with many more students already enrolled in summer and fall sessions with the start of the new academic year, which begins August 1.

These are the exam times for this week:
August 1st

• Level 1 Wine and Level 1 Spirits will take place at 9:15am
• Level 2 Wine and Level 2 Spirits will take place at 10:30
• Level 3 Wine will take place at noon

All exam dates beyond this are attached to the respective class offerings, and student candidates should reference their specific class for those dates.

Any current candidate can choose the exam date that works for them, but please note the registration deadlines to participate in an exam. WSET requires 15 business days notice for all exam registrations, so it is not possible to be scheduled once the exam registration date has passed and the candidate will need to wait until the next exam date (these are generally held monthly, pending need).

Candidates should make their exam date intention clear to NEWA by emailing:
BMitchell@newenglandwineacademy.com prior to the exam registration deadline.

As a reminder all online material is available to access for one year from the start of your class, and as always, if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to NEWA and we will be happy to discuss. Cheers
