At The Tasting Class, our mission has always been simple: to deliver the best possible wine education experience in the UAE. That means every detail of our courses is designed to inspire, engage, and immerse our students in the world of wine.
When you join us for an in-class course, you’re getting more than just a qualification—you’re getting:
•Exceptional Wines – Carefully curated to reflect the diversity and quality of each region and style we study.
•Talented, Highly Qualified Educators – Our instructors bring years of industry expertise, storytelling flair, and a deep passion for sharing knowledge.
•A Centrally Located, State-of-the-Art Classroom – Comfortable, well-equipped, and purpose-built for wine education with professional specification tasting tools.
•Delicious Meals and unlimited hot drinks – Because great wines and hungry minds need to be nourished.
We believe these elements create a truly world-class learning environment—one that reflects in our course pricing and in the value you walk away with.
But We Also Know…
Not every student is looking for the full immersive experience.
Some are laser-focused on getting their qualification quickly, with maximum flexibility and minimal cost.
Maybe you’re studying to boost your CV. Maybe your schedule makes regular in-person classes difficult. Or maybe you just want to work through the material at your own pace.
We hear you.
Introducing: WSET Level 1 Online
We’re proud to announce that WSET Level 1 is now available as a reduced-price, no-frills online course.
This streamlined option is perfect for students who:
•Want to study from anywhere, on their own schedule
•Are happy to forgo in-class tastings and meals
•Prefer to keep costs as low as possible
•Have incompatible schedules with our in-person class times
It’s the same globally recognised WSET curriculum, delivered in a flexible online format. You’ll still need to sit your exam in person, but we now offer more exam date flexibility than ever before too.
Whether you choose the premium in-class experience or the budget-friendly online course, you’ll earn the same respected qualification.
Both paths get you certified. The difference is in how you want to take the journey.

Check our upcoming dates for both online and in-class WSET Level 1 courses, and take advantage of early bird discounts where available.

However you choose to learn, The Tasting Class is here to help you raise your glass to success.
