The WSET Level 2 Certificate is intended as vocational training in product knowledge for those employed in the beverage industry.

The Level 2 is designed for those who have little to no previous knowledge of wines and spirits. The course is also appropriate for those not employed in the industry but have a serious interest in wine or spirits and wish to broaden their knowledge in a structured way.

The Level 2 Certification course covers the wines and spirits of the world and is followed by a one-hour multiple choice examination. The course is divided into roughly 50% wine tasting and we taste over 45 wines in the series. All course materials, program syllabus, examinations and registration are overseen by Peter Neptune of Neptune School of wine, WSET CENTRE 838.
