WSET® Level 1 Award in Wines Online


The course is based on a 4-week, 5-module online learning programme with online tutorial support. The course modules should be followed in sequential order over the 4 weeks and take approximately 6 hours to complete.
 
You can complete each module independently, at your own pace. Each module contains learning materials and exercises to help you understand the differences between grape varieties and wine types and styles. During the course, you will learn how to describe the wine you have tasted simply but accurately, and a WSET instructor will be on hand to help you if you have any questions. You can contact the instructor at any time during the online course.
 
And you can upload your tasting notes in the online classroom for a WSET instructor to review.

Why choose Borkollégium?

Mészáros Gabriella
Borkollégium
We were the country’s first wine school, thus have the most experience.
You will not only taste a wide range of wines, but wines of extremely high quality.
Should a wine seem flawed, it will be replaced.
We make learning easy, with a pleasant environment and comfortable atmosphere.
Our educators work to the highest of standards.
We are the only school in Hungary to offer students constantly updated textbooks, right from the very beginning.
You will get answers to all your questions. However, if our educators, very occasionally, can’t give you an answer right away, they’ll come back to you with it the next day.
Knowledge-based education is of paramount importance to us, and we aim to offer our students the best knowledge available.
