Comments:

For the WSET Level 2 course, it is difficult to do better, every year we get 100%…

For the WSET Level 3 course,

Tasting: it is difficult to do better, we get 100%…

Multiple choice exam: we improved 7% from 92% to 100%

Short Answers exam: although our success rate is 20% above the WSET Global average, we have performed significantly less at 67% (instead of 92% the year before). The WSET Global rate has dropped considerably too and went from  70% last year to 56% this year.

Pledge: We will make sure in the 2016-2017 academic year that we will improve this situation. Short written answer are not factual recall; they are about an application of knowledge and understanding of a subject area.

Congratulations to all our (brilliant) students!

In Vino Veritas!
