The one people wait for
WSET Level 3 Award in Wines
Level 2 gave you the map. Level 3 teaches you to read the glass — how growing conditions and winemaking choices shape a wine’s style, quality and price, and how to describe what you find using the WSET Systematic Approach to Tasting.
Ten weeks, semi-synchronous, around eight to ten hours a week. Five live webinars with your instructor, 24 wines curated from WSET’s recommended list, the WSET eBook, mock exams and 12 months of platform access. Your in-person exam registration and exam are included.

The hesitation we hear most
Online doesn’t mean on your own.
Self-paced sounds like a PDF and good luck. Here’s what it actually is.
Structured, not scattered
Sequenced the way an instructor would teach it. You’re never deciding what to study next — that’s already decided.
Your exam is included
On every on-demand course. No separate registration, no hunting for a sitting.
Real instructors
Questions reach certified educators who work in the trade — not a help widget.
Built for a real week
A lunch break, a quiet hour after the kids are down. That’s the point, not a compromise.
Still studying?
Certification proves what you know. Practice is what makes you good.
Premier Crew™ is where NVWA students keep working between lessons — at every level, in every subject. Here’s what that looks like if Level 3 is the one in front of you.
Annual normally gets you two months free. Right now it’s three.
Annual, through September 9
| Monthly plan, 12 months | $359.88 |
| Annual Plan Regular Price | $299 |
| Annual with your code | $269.10 |
| You save | $90.78 — three months free |
That works out to $22.43 a month against $29.99 monthly. Switching from monthly cancels your monthly billing automatically — no overlap, nothing to cancel.
Join Premier Crew →Study tools shaped like the exam
Flashcards, plus practice exams in both formats you’ll actually sit: multiple choice and short written answer.
Live Tasting Labs™
Monthly, instructor-led, calibrating your palate against people who assess for a living. The part you can’t get from a book.
People who’ve already done it
Study panel videos where Level 3 students walk through what worked for them.
A Level 3 forum that’s actually active
Weekly instructor-led study challenges with answer reveals, and instructors on hand for your Level 3 questions.
Plus regional maps, study-tip articles and videos across hundreds of topics. And the same coverage runs Level 1 through Level 4 Diploma — wine, spirits, beer and sake.

Questions, answered
How do I get the discount?
Tap Text me my code, enter your mobile number, and we’ll text your code straight back — it takes seconds. Apply it at checkout. Prefer not to share your number? Contact us and we’ll send it to you.
When does the sale end?
Wednesday, September 9 at 11:59pm Pacific. It runs a couple of days past Labor Day itself, so you have the whole long weekend and then some.
When does my course start?
On-demand courses start immediately — you’ll have access within minutes of enrolling. Live online courses start on your chosen cohort date, and enrolling now holds both your seat and this price.
Is the exam included?
Yes on every on-demand course in this sale. For live online cohorts, check the individual course page — it’s listed under what’s included.
What’s the difference between on-demand and live online?
On-demand starts the moment you enroll and moves at your pace. Live online runs on set dates with an instructor and a cohort of classmates. Both lead to exactly the same WSET qualification — the difference is how much structure you want around you.
Can I get help from an instructor?
Yes, in both formats. Questions go to WSET-certified educators.
Does this stack with other discounts?
No. The Labor Day code is standalone and limited to one use per customer.
Is the Level 4 Diploma included?
No — Diploma units and course bundles are excluded from this sale, along with in-person courses. Premier Crew’s study resources do cover Diploma material, but the Diploma courses themselves aren’t part of this offer. If you’re Diploma-bound, talk to us and we’ll walk you through the path.
September starts soon. You could start with it.
On-demand courses begin the minute you enroll — so if you want to start today, you can.
