Registration fees are non-refundable. Cancellations of a class prior to receiving course materials and at least 48-hours prior to the first class are eligible for a full refund.

Re-Scheduling Exams

The exams and assessments for WSET Level 4 courses have fixed dates when independent research assignments are due.

When you register for a WSET course, you are booked to turn in your paper by a specific date. This date is indicated in your course schedule. Students who are unable to turn in their assignment on time must re-register for a new date (with a new topic), and will be charged a $200 fee.

In the event of a personal or family emergency, fees may be waived, subject to verification and approval from WSET.
