The course utilizes social media to allow students to study alongside their peers under the guidance of a WSET tutor. Each week includes a series of online group activities to help students look behind the label and recognize the styles produced by the main grape varieties and in the key regions. The course is based around a 5 week structured online program of 6 hours study per week. However, the course has no fixed study times, so students may plan their studies to suit themselves.
