There is a WSET approved instructor assigned to each session, and this instructor will give feedback on quizzes, tasting notes, etc. EXAMS WSET offers level 1 and level 2 exams with the option to take exams online or in-person. When you check out for a class enrollment, you will be asked to make a selection as to the exam setting you wish to pursue. There is a small additional charge for the remote invigilation process as there is an additional third-party system used for control and validation purposes. Please follow this link to review the Candidate Remote Invigilation document prior to making a final decision. Students taking a Remote Invigilation exam (online) must be aware that they will receive multiple advance emails with instruction on how to perform a systems check, as well as the link to the exam. Students must review the system check procedure and make NEWA and/or WSET aware of any issues that may prevent them from taking an RI exam on the specified day. Failure to do this may result in an inability to sit the exam on the scheduled date, and could result in a forfeiture of the exam fee. WSET does provide a comprehensive Remote Invigilation Guide, which can be reviewed here. Although it is highly recommended that candidates take their exams on the assigned course date, from time to time life happens. Candidates do have up to 1 year from the course start date to complete their exams - either in-person or remotely. Please review all of the terms and conditions found at the bottom of this page, and ask any questions before enrolling. By enrolling in a class you acknowledge and accept all policies, terms, and dates associate with your course. Please click here to view the WSET Level 1 Spirits Course Specification. |
