The course is based around a 9-week structured online programme with a recommendation of 10 hours study per week to cover the online activities and read the relevant chapters in the textbook. The course follows a weekly structure, but it allows the student to work ahead or catch up on the activities and forums.

Each week includes a series of independent activities that guide the student through the key wine regions of the world looking at the factors in the vineyard and winery that influence wine styles.
Students are advised to taste a range of wines during their studies. A list of recommended wines for tasting can be found in the Level 3 specification, and will also be communicated to students by their WSET instructor. Students can post their tasting notes in the Online Classroom for review by the educator. Aside from the wine samples that are included in the tasting tutorial, students enrolled in this courses are responsible for sourcing and purchasing all additional recommended wines for tasting.
