Weekly on Monday evenings, 6-8pm from 2 October to 27 November 2023 (Exam on this day). The WSET Level 2 Award in Wines is intended for those with little previous experience in the field of wine. Students will also be introduced to the main styles of wines produced by key grape varieties and a specific number of regions. By the end of the course a student will know, simply by reading a wine label,  what most wines taste like. The course is very suitable for people who are not employed in the drinks industry but wish to learn more about the subject. However, it is important that potential students appreciate that this is primarily a professional development course for the hospitality industry and is approached in that way by our tutors. The course will be run in an weekly format over nine weeks at Vera Wine Forum, 121 Tudor Street, Hamilton, 2303.  There will be an exam in the final week.  You will receive your results and a certificate within 6-12 weeks of completing the course. Because of the intensive nature of the course we advise that you collect your reading materials well in advance of the course date. There is a $120 fee to re-sit the exam should you not pass and a $50 fee is you do not turn up for the exam. If a student cancels their enrolment within 72 hours of the course commencing, an 80% refund will be provided.
