WSET( Wine and Spirit Education Trust) Courses
Martin Verhoeks holds a WSET Diploma in Wine and Spirits and therefore can teach WSET courses Levels 1/2 and 3 thanks to his association with a WSET approved program provider( APP) in France. These are internationally recognised courses and are a requirement for many persons working in the wine industry. They are equally interesting for wine lovers wanting to know more about wine and the world of wine through well structured/comprehensive and standardized education. A level 1 is a one day course and great to get a better idea of the wine world.
Level 2 and 3 are more challenging and require a solid committment both in time and financially. These courses require a minimum number of participants and will be conducted in a professional environment with the necessary infrastructure.All these courses require an examination at the end of the course and ,upon passing, the participant will receive an official certificat directly from WSET.

How to go about taking a WSET Course with us?
Step 1
We need usually a minimum of 10 people for a course, so get as many of your wine friends together as possible. If we have a course scheduled, we can always add more people. We need about 3 months advanced notice for all courses!
Step 2
Contact us and let us know that you would like to attend a course. If you are by yourself or a group of less than 10, email us and we put you on a list,so we can contact you once we achieve the minimum number of attendants.
Step 3
This would include the registration/payment at least 2 months ahead for a Level 1 and at least 3 months ahead for level 2 and 3.
