Payment Plans for WSET Courses

If you're ready to take your knowledge of wine to the next level - or maybe even launch a new beverage industry career - WSET Wine Certification Courses are a great way to establish a strong foundation of wine knowledge, make industry connections, and learn to taste wine like a professional.

To insure that these classes are available to everyone, we offer installment plans that allow students to break their tuition up into a series of monthly payments - at no additional charge.

If you plan to join us this fall, be in touch to get your payment plan set up. Payments are due on the 1st or 15th of each month and the last payment must be received by the end of the course.
