The Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW) is one of Society of Wine Educators' notoriously rigorous certifications, testing a candidate’s wine knowledge and mastery of key elements within the worlds of viticulture and wine production. The San Francisco Wine School has created a comprehensive, highly focused preparation program to help ensure your success.
Students enrolled in this in-depth program will gain a solid understanding of the world of wine while participating in a fun setting with other wine professionals seeking success on the challenging CSW exam. Our proven techniques and expert instructors will help you acquire the knowledge for a great test-taking experience! The CSW program is divided into 5 units that we have broken into 10 class sessions, covering wine tasting, terminology, composition, chemistry, flaws, viticulture, enology, labels, laws and wine regions of the world. In-depth blind tastings and discussions of over 70 wines from the relevant regions are included in every course. At the end of the full series is an opportunity to review test your knowledge of the wines, regions and laws on the CSW exam.
ABOUT THE CERTIFICATION & EXAM
The Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW) is an internationally recognized credential conferred by the Society of Wine Educators (SWE), which has branches in countries around the globe. Obtaining the CSW demonstrates your mastery of wines of the entire world and can help you launch or further your career in wine. It is also a mandatory prerequisite for SWE's top credential, Certified Wine Educator (CWE).
CSW exam registrations are included in the program and are good for one full year from the start of the program. CSW exams are available at Pearson VUE testing centers and other locations. Students will be sent an authorization code and further instructions after the program begins. With the authorization code, a CSW Exam may be scheduled with the testing center at the candidate's preferred time and place.
