Wine Certification

The Sommelier Certification Program is comprised of the following six academic modules.

Courses are presented in chronological order. Sensory Development & Wine Styles is the first module and a successful completion of the class is a prerequisite for all other courses. Once a student has completed Sensory they are welcome to take the classes in any order that fits their schedule or interest.

Our modules are only offered once or twice a year - module time periods may change - if you are interested in a particular course please email education admin Danielle McLean to be put on our Potential Student email list.

• Sensory Development & Wine Styles is offered every fall (late September/early October) and every winter (mid January)
• Old World is typically offered every fall
• New World every late winter/early spring
• Sommelier Management - late fall
• Beer, Spirits & Other Beverages - fall or sping
• Methods of Modern Winemaking - spring

Students who complete Sensory Development & Wine Styles in Nov, for example, may proceed to New World Wine Regions in Jan, while students who complete Sensory in Mar may proceed to Old World in Sep.

Note: All prices +HST. Each student is also required to complete and keep record of 30 hours of collective service hours prior to certification.
