Exam dates and Academic Calendar for the 2025-2026 Year

WSET's academic calendar year begins on Aug 1, 2025, and this time of year finds us busy building out all of the new dates for courses, workshops, and exams. This does take us some time as we have to look ahead and plan out the best path for our students in coordination with he course dates.

This year, we have mirrored the plan generally used and refined over the past five years, as it seems to work for us and our students. This calendar includes dozens of course dates at all levels, as well as twelve workdays designed to help with exam prep. Our exam schedule follows the same pattern, as well, which involves a coordinated date on the first Saturday of each month for remote exams, as well as 10 in-person exam dates throughout the year. Keep in mind that we can also add customized remote exam dates if the schedule suits your needs better. We ask our students to consider the established dates first, as this minimizes the administrative needs on our side, but if those established date just do not work out for you then please contact us and we will work to find a date and time that works best for your schedule.

Here are the 2025-2026 critical dates to keep in mind...
