The WSET® Level 5 Honours Diploma
Who should attend?
This qualification aims to provide the basic product knowledge and skills in the service of spirits to prepare a person for their first job in hospitality or in other sectors of the spirits industry. This course may also appeal to the interested consumer.
How will you benefit?
The Honours Diploma enables students to develop skills in research, evaluation and analysis. A student enrolling for an Honours Diploma will receive tutorial support on how to approach the project. However, students are expected to work independently, set their own deadlines, submit a proposal for approval and manage the process of research, production and submission of the project. Suitable for students looking to continue on to a higher qualification such as Master of Wine or other education options.
Outline programme
This single unit qualification assesses the ability of a candidate to develop and apply knowledge gained at Level 4 in significantly greater depth and present information in a format suitable for managerial-level presentation. Therefore, the submission of the research project for assessment will not be allowed until the candidate has passed the Level 4 Diploma.
Students will be required to demonstrate the application of business skills by identifying and solving problems, developing ideas in the creation of new/modified products, services or situations within the 4000 - 5000 word allocation for the project.
