Hello everyone,

New to the site and enjoying everything I've read so far.

I do have a quick question: are the programs of this school for informational purposes only? I didn't see any kind of accreditations anywhere. I did notice that you get a certificate of some sort.

This won't affect my decision to take the courses, I'm just wondering if this is something I should mention to potential employers i.e. put it on my resume.

Thanks!

Maybe you can tell us? Smile

Seriously, I (and I am sure many others here) have never even clicked any of these school links or courses. I forgot they were even here. I have no idea.

There's a school marmie around here somewhere. Maybe she can help.

Welcome to the board. Go to the Tasting Notes and Wine Conversations and you'll learn plenty also....if not more Smile

I think that even the Schoolmarm would tell us that the WS courses are more for fun and light learning than anything that should/could be used as an employment qualification.

That being said, I know a couple of wine newbies who took some of these courses and found the structure and organization helpful in getting started.

Depends on where and what job you are applying for. For someone that wants to be a waiter or bartender at a nice restaurant with a decent wine list it would be a great start.
