THE WSET CERTIFICATE

Vocational College of Hospitality and Tourism Maribor is situated in the second largest Slovene city Maribor with a colourful wine tradition. It is also the city with the oldest vine in the world (more than 450 years old). Therefore, we and BELVIN Wine & Spirit School are proud to host this exciting seminar where participants will be awarded the internationally approved certificates of Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET®).

WHAT IS WSET?

This qualification is popular with wine professionals and will give participants excellent all-around professional knowledge. WSET works with an extensive network of over 400 third-party teaching and examination centres, known as Approved Programme Providers, in over 50 countries around the world who offer one or more of their qualifications. These external Providers are being rigorously checked to ensure that they deliver the high standard of teaching required to enable students to pass their WSET qualification.
