WSET & Pro

Essex Wine School is the leading provider of WSET courses in Essex. Whether you're completely new to wine, already know your way around a bottle, or you're looking to build a career in the wine or hospitality industry, we can help you take the next step.

Essex Wine School is a WSET Approved Programme Provider, offering WSET qualifications from Level 1 through to Level 3, with classroom courses in Chelmsford and online options.

And because we're part of an award-winning wine education network, you get the experience and expertise of a much bigger organisation, with the friendly, local feel of Essex Wine School.

Why Study With Essex Wine School?

Because learning about wine should be enjoyable. 

You'll get structured WSET education, but you won't be sitting silently while someone reads a textbook at you. We taste the wines, talk about them, ask questions, have discussions and make sure you actually understand what you're learning. 

Study in Essex

Our classroom courses give you the chance to study locally, in small groups, without travelling into London. We run courses in Chelmsford, alongside online courses for those who prefer to study from home. Online courses are taught via a live Zoom classroom, where you'll have the chance to interact with your study group and ask questions.

All of our courses are taught by WSET Certified Educators. 

Taste as You Learn

You can't learn everything about wine from a book. Tasting is an important part of our courses, and we'll help you develop the skills and confidence to taste wine using the WSET approach.

Extra Online Support

WSET Levels 2 and 3 now include Wine With Jimmy online learning support at no extra cost, giving you another resource to use alongside your taught sessions and revision.

We are proud to partner with the Drinks Trust via their DEVELOP programme, to support those on a low income to join our flagship WSET courses. Contact us for more information.
