WSET® Level 2 Award in Wines Online


The course is based on a 5-week, 6-module online learning programme with online tutorial support. The course modules should be followed in sequential order over the 5 weeks and will take approximately 30 hours to complete. We recommend 6 hours of online study per week as well as reading the textbook chapters relating to each module.
You can complete each module independently, at your own pace. Each module enables you to study the international grape varieties and main wine-producing regions in depth. You will also learn about the styles of wine made from these varieties, the systems of protection of origin and the most important terms used on wine labels. A WSET instructor will be available throughout the course to help you with any questions you may have. 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.
