Difference Between On-Demand and Instructor-led Online Course?Updated an hour ago

We offer options for getting WSET Level 1 and 2 in Wine certified through On-Demand and Instructor-led Online courses. The On-Demand course offers the most flexibility and very competitive pricing, which includes the exam and digital badge & certification. Watch this video of our recent Student Info Session on on-demand learning.

🙎Key differences 💻 

  1. On-Demand is self-paced vs. Instructor-led has a structured weekly schedule
  2. On-Demand has no interaction with the instructor or fellow students vs. Instructor-led has live webinars and assignments graded by the instructor 
  3. On-Demand course can be completed as fast as you like over12 months vs. Instructor-led is 4 weeks (L1) and 5 weeks (L2) with the instructor and cohort and schedule
Both formats include the course, course materials, online exam registration within 12 months and digital certification and badge. The book on WSET Level 1 is a downloadable pdf and on WSET Level 2 is an eBook, accessible with a unique code.
