Certification via California by the National Wine School (NWS). This certification offers the same academic credentials in the USA as the Court of Master Sommelier (CMS) and the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET). We prefer to offer NSW due it's transparency in certification, trustworthiness, and independence. Unlike other certification bodies, it is focused on the wine trade instead of the restaurant trade, which offers a great deal of latitude for our students. The NWS is not affiliated with the CMS or WSET.
