Accessibility
We are committed to making education more accessible and recognize the enormous financial barriers our students may face.
We recognize that not all persons learn in the same way, and will work with you to make sure testing and course formats are tailored to your needs. Additionally, we offer payment plans at no additional cost, as well as scholarship resources available in BC.
WSET Payment Plans
We are one of many global wine schools that offer courses via the WSET, widely considered the gold standard for wine education and internationally recognized certifications. Their website offers a full scope of the courses offered, as well as examination specifications, options for further study, and a Knowledge Centre with links to the Systematic Approach to Tasting and informational videos.
If you have applied for a scholarship or bursary, please let us know and we can factor that into your tuition payment as well.

Accessibility
Accessibility is a term we hear used in education quite a bit, and increasingly in the wine industry. It has a myriad of meanings and can encompass social, political, economic, environmental, and health barriers that make it challenging for people to engage with wine or attend class.
We’re committed to developing IEPs (Individualized Education Plans) for our students who want to take part in our WSET courses but struggle with traditional classrooms. We’re no strangers to neurodivergence ourselves and are happy to talk with you about how to adapt the classroom and material for you. We will work with the WSET to find accommodations and make them in our classroom as well.
We also offer payment plans at no additional cost, as well as scholarship resources available in BC.
