Terms and Conditions
Prior to booking and or paying for any WSET Courses, you are required to accept the terms and conditions detailed below. Once you have read through these terms and conditions, please refer back to your booking form. Thank you.
Payment
Full payment must be made at the time of booking, unless otherwise agreed upon.
Course Booking
The latest date for booking:
WSET Level 1 Award in Wines – four working days prior to start of course.
WSET Level 2 Award in Wines – 15 working prior to start of course.
WSET Level 3 Award in Wines – 15 working prior to start of course.
*This is to enable the Examinations Officer to have sufficient time for exam paper ordering and delivery of course materials to students.
Cancellations
Cancellations of confirmed places are accepted up to 15 working days prior to the start of the course, resulting in a full refund. If cancellation is received after this time, an administration fee of £15.00 plus the full cost of the study materials and exam fee will be deducted and the remainder of the fee will be refunded. If a booking is cancelled after the commencement of the course, no refund will be made.
Course fees will be refunded in full if Cotswold Wine School changes or cancels course dates or enrolments do not reach the required minimum numbers and the candidate cannot be placed onto another course date. Individuals will be notified 10 working days prior to the intended commencement of the course.
Transfer Students
Wherever possible we will endeavour to accept transfer students from another APP, provided candidates can prove prior enrolment with another APP. Candidates can sit just the exam portion of a course for the cost of the exam with at least 15 working days prior notice. Candidates may also request to enrol into a course for the full price of the course (minus course materials fee if candidate can prove they have the most up to date materials already).
Examination Dates
Exams are fixed to the course onto which a student books. Should a different exam date be requested, written notice must be given at least 15 working days prior to exam date. If notice is not given in this time, an alternative date will incur an administration charge of £15.00 plus the cost of the examination paper which will have been ordered from the WSET Awards.
Delivery of Course Materials
WSET Level 1 course materials will be provided to students on the first day of the course.
WSET Levels 2 & 3 course materials will be posted to a student’s home address upon confirmation of payment of fees within seven working days. It is important that the student provides a full delivery address with post code, and that someone is available to receive the parcel. Any materials that are returned as result of a failure of the recipient will result in an additional cost of return being charged.
Age Restrictions
Courses are only available to individuals 18 years of age or over.
Proof of Age & Identity
Candidates are required to produce photographic evidence of their age and identity before they are permitted to sit a WSET examination. Failure to do so will result in a candidate not being permitted to take the final exam.
