About Level 3:

You’ll embark on an examination of the options and limitations available to producers of every major world wine region, including France, Italy, Spain, North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. For each region we examine the natural and human factors that impact wine style, quality, and price.

Students who successfully pass an in-person final examination, including a written and tasting portion, are entitled to the title “WSET Level 3 Certified” and to use the WSET logo on their professional materials.

How Does Level 3 Online Work at CWS?

The course is based around a fifteen-week structured online program with a recommendation of 10 hours study per week to cover the online activities and read the relevant chapters in the textbook.

The course follows a weekly structure and it is important to keep up with the work set for that week. Regular access and participation in the course online activities is essential for this mode of study.

The course prepares the student for the WSET Level 3 qualification as they are guided by one of Commonwealth Wine School’s WSET educators. The student can contact the educator at any time for the duration of the scheduled course, should they have any questions. Each week includes a series of independent activities that guide the student through the key wine regions of the world looking at the factors in the vineyard and winery that influence wine styles. In addition, we will meet online as a group 5 times as the course progresses. In addition to the tasting kits or recommended bottles that will be used during the tasting tutorial, students are also advised to taste a range of wines during their studies on their own.
