The Wine and Spirit Education Trust Intermediate Certificate is the second level of course study in the WSET wine course program.  This course is perfect for those with a good basic knowledge of wine. It is the natural progression after completing the Foundation course. However, the Foundation is not a prerequisite before starting the Intermediate.
