Student Resources
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.
As always, we also recognize the enormous financial barriers our students may face and offer payment plans at no additional cost, as well as scholarship resources available in BC.
We are one of many global wine schools that offer courses via the WSET, widely considered the gold standard for wine education and awards internationally recognized certifications. Their website here 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.
