Welcome to the Frontpage

The Wine and Spirit Education Trust's courses are now available in 55 countries!

Over 35,540 students, in 55 countries and 17 languages sat WSET® examinations in the year 2010/2011. An organisation with educational charity status, the WSET® is the only wine and spirit educational entity approved by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, the UK government's regulator for educationwsetlogo. We are currently accredited by the Wine and Spirit Education Trust to offer all courses up to the Diploma level.

We are currently not eligible to offer the Diploma course, but aim to offer it in the near future.


SVEB_text_cmykOur policy of small classes with a maximum of 12 to 15 students per class is supported by keeping ourselves up-to-date with developments on the international as well as the Swiss Further Education scene and the policies of the Swiss government. In order to support us in this process, we are members of the Swiss Federation of Adult Learning (FSEA) since 2009.
