WSET® Level 2 Award in Wines and Spirits

Distance Learning

The KZN School of Wine offers an online distance learning option for the wine enthusiast who wishes to study for pleasure and for those who wish to gain a WSET qualification but find that it is difficult to attend regular classes.

Studying online offers students the flexibility to fit their studies around their commitments and lifestyle. The online distance learning course is designed to be interactive and engaging by utilising our online portal to allow students to study alongside their peers under the guidance of a WSET tutor. Each week includes a series of online group activities taking students through the key wine regions looking in depth at the key influences behind the styles of wine produced in each.

The WSET Level 2 Distance Learning course covers the major grape varieties, regions of the world, food and wine pairing, sparkling wines, fortified wines and the major spirits over a period of five weeks.
