The KZN School of Wine offers an online distance learning option for the wine enthusiast who wishes to study with more flexibility and for those who wish to gain a WSET qualification but find that it is difficult to attend regular classes.
Studying online offers students the flexibility to fit their studies around their commitments and lifestyle. The online distance learning course is designed to give you the freedom to complete the course in your own time at any time.
The course is delivered through a series of lectures and slide shows via video download. There is no time constraint and students can complete the course in a day, month or year. Students gain support from a WSET tutor and have access to a database of online practice exams.
