    How to Study for WSET Level 3 – Overall Timings


    Overall, we feel it is worth spending your 51.5 hours in learning time roughly as
    follows:
    • 1.5 Hours Unit 2 – Learning the aspects to comment on during the tasting
    exam
    • 8 Hours Unit 1, Learning outcome 1 – Natural and human factors in the
    vineyard
    • 28 Hours Unit 1, Learning outcome 2 – Principal still wines of the world
    • 5 Hours Unit 1, Learning outcome 3 – Principal sparkling wines of the world
    • 5 Hours Unit 1, Learning outcome 4 – Principal fortified wines of the world
    • 4 Hours Unit 1, Learning outcome 5 – Providing information and advice on
    wine
    Bear in mind that if you are particularly strong or weak in one area you may wish
    to adjust these timings. For example, candidates with service experience may wish
    to spend less time on learning outcome 5 and instead focus on the other five areas.
