What You Will Need
Just like with the online version of our Level 1 Award in Spirits, students will need access to a computer. Check the compatibility of alternate devices, such as a large screened tablet. For an information laden online course such as this though, a desktop computer is by far the best option. We have a link to a demo class so you can test your equipment too. Any device you use will need to have the following:
- high speed internet connection (no dial up)
- HTML5 compatible browser, with Javascript & cookies enabled
- PDF viewer (Adobe Reader XI or suitable alternative)
In Person Paper Exam
Upon completion of the online learning, you will need to be tested. The test will be invigilated in person on the Saturday following the last day of your online course. We find the in person exam is the easiest way to ensure your exam is completed to WSET’s highest standards. We will confirm a test date with you.
