WSET Online Educator:

All of WSET Online Educators hold the highest qualification WSET offers in their specialist subject. For example, to teach wine qualifications online at any level, they must have our Level 4 Diploma in Wines. To teach our spirits qualifications, they must have the Level 3 Award in Spirits and so on. Many of the educators hold additional qualifications making them experts and leaders in their subjects. These include degrees in viticulture, oenology or business, and diplomas and intensive training in distillation and sake brewing. Several either have achieved or are studying for their Master of Wine accreditation. WSET require their Online Educators
to grade and comment on student feedback tests and assignments at levels 3 and 4. This grading has a dual purpose. For the educator, this assessment allows them to monitor their students’ progress, and by monitoring their students’ successes or weaknesses, adapt their teaching as needed. For WSET, this assessment allows them to monitor the educators’ performance, so they might intercede and offer additional support as required.
