Episode 2: What is WSET? In this episode of the Wine Educate podcast, I dive into the world of WSET—what it is, how it works, and why it matters. Discover the history of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, its globally recognized qualifications, and how they’re structured across wine, spirits, sake, and beer. I'll also explore how WSET creates a common language for wine professionals, enhances resumes for career opportunities, and establishes a strong foundation of knowledge for anyone in the wine industry. Plus, learn why the course specifications are your ultimate guide to acing the exams. Curious about where to study? I explain what an APP (Approved Program Provider) is and how to find one near you. Next week, I’ll share tips on choosing between in-person and online classes.
