Diploma Online Details

​

The Diploma consists of 6 units which need to be successfully completed and exams passed, for the student to achieve the WSET Diploma. D1 and D2 must be studied at the beginning of the Diploma program and the D1 exam sat first. The remaining units can be booked as and when you need.

The individual units follow a weekly structure and it is important that students keep up with work set for that week. The educator is not obliged to assess work if the student falls behind. The individual units are designed to build upon knowledge gained from the previous weeks, so the student should not skip ahead. There are no set times to log into the course.

​

The online units prepare the student for our qualifications and are guided by a WSET educator. The student can contact the educator any time for the duration of the scheduled

course, should they have any questions. Each unit includes a series of independent and/or group activities that require students to look in depth at the wine industry, applying subject knowledge and professional skills to analyze key issues.

Each unit also includes a feedback test or tests depending on the unit e.g. D1 and D2 have one feedback test. D3 includes 10 theory feedback tests and 4 tasting feedback tests; D4 and D5 have one theory feedback test and one tasting feedback test.

Revision of the Level 3 materials is highly recommended before

commencing the diploma. Students are advised to schedule a minimum of 150 hours to complete all five units online,

excluding private study and reading time. Regular access and participation in the online activities is essential for this mode of study.

​

Students are advised to taste a range of wines during their studies. A list of recommended tasting samples can be found in the Specification.
