WHO IS TAKING OUR COURSES?
NOTE on the current status of NEWA,
WSET Students and PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES Week of November 23rd... New Holiday cocktail recipes added on The Academy News section, as well as some notes on how to address disparity in the workplace, and some Last Minute Wine Buying tips for the Turkey Day and holidays. New England Wine Academy has updated all course descriptions and schedules for the remainder of the 2020 calendar year, and well into 2021. Please refer to the "Classes" tab above for full descriptions, or click on "Shop" to go directly to the class list. We have also added options for anyone needing to resit an exam - this is for Levels 1, 2, and 3 - wine, and Level 1 or 2 in spirits. Once you book a resit then a date will be coordinated with you depending on the schedule needed. We have added several more options for WSET online wine courses at Levels 1, 2, and 3. These dates have been added due to demand. Additional classes are scheduled to begin throughout the remainder of 2020, and well into 2021. Class registration deadline is generally 7 days prior to the course date. Levels 1 and 2 in spirits have quickly becomes some of the most in-demand courses with WSET, as there is a huge interest among the drinks industry as well as non-industry enthusiasts. We do know that cocktails are in full swing among younger drinkers as well as favorites of older audiences, so this makes complete sense. Take a look at the courses available from NEWA for Spirits certification and career growth through better knowledge. There are a number of courses that are on sale for the holiday shopping season. This week, all Level 1 courses are on sale. We will be posting sale prices for additional courses over the next couple of weeks, so check back to see if there is one that fits your schedule. If you have a group or organization that is interested in virtual classes or demonstrations, New England Wine Academy can work within your needs as well as budget and time-frame to provide a custom experience that is fun and engaging. Please remember, any current WSET candidate can choose the exam date that works for them, but you should 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. Please be aware that any exam cancellation or rescheduling request done less than 7 days form the exam date, will incur a rescheduling fee of $175. There are a number of facets that are involved in all exams, and the lead time for registration and rescheduling is needed to insure all of the protocols are maintained, and the standards are in place. 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.
