WSET Diploma
Unit 1 & 2

International Wine Center offers new Diploma students an Intro To Diploma class twice per year, in the spring and fall. The Unit 2 Exam is a gateway exam to the rest of the program and must be attempted before moving on to any other Units, including the Unit 1 examinations (see Coursework Assignments and the Unit 1 Assignment FAQ).

Initial registration for Diploma includes the following:
  • Downloadable Study Guide for Unit 1
  • Study Guide for Unit 2
Students should then download:

Three Year Registration:
New Diploma students are registered for three years. They may enroll for any Units and attempt the various assessments associated with Diploma as many times as necessary during this registration period. If Diploma studies are not completed within the 3-year registration period, then students may re-register for an additional 3-year period. Upon registration renewal, any prior passes are subject to reevaluation by the WSET for timeliness and relevancy.

WSET Diploma Assessment Preparation Scheme (DAPS):
The DAPS program, which uses the WSET Online Classroom environment, is administered by WSET in London and is an invaluable tool for students. Please see the WSET DAPS Program FAQ for a full description of how it works.

Unit 1&2 Exams:
Unit 1 is evaluated by way of 2 assessments: A Case-Study examination and a Course Work Assignment.
Unit 2 is evaluated by way of a 100-Question Multiple Choice exam.
