- 01Our wine courses are designed for anyone interested in wine, whether you are a beginner or an industry professional. For students with no prior wine knowledge, we recommend starting with the WSET Level 1 course. This course will help you build a solid foundation in wine, making it easier for you to grasp core knowledge and apply it flexibly in real-life situations compared to other students.
- 02unnecessary. WSET's most popular course is the "Level 2 Wine Course," which is widely recognized in the UK and attracts many students with some wine tasting experience. Therefore, WSET does not require students to start from Level 1. However, if you are a beginner, you may hear friends suggesting that you skip Level 1 and go directly to Level 2. We advise you to think carefully about this, as Macau's wine culture differs from that of Europe and America, and without a foundation, you may find it difficult to learn at Level 2. Of course, we have adjusted the course according to market demand. If you are willing to invest time in reviewing, you can directly pass the Level 2 exam. However, this may make your foundation less solid than that of students who started from Level 1, especially when explaining wine in social situations.
