Bellavita Academy, provider of professional courses for chefs and sommeliers, has become an Approved Programme Provider (APP) for the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET).
The academy will initially be offering the WSET Level 1 Award in Wine alongside the Level 2 Award in Wines and Spirits, from July and June respectively.
The WSET APP appointment was “a confirmation of the trustworthiness of Bellavita`s professional courses”, said academy director Claudia Galetta.
The partnership formed part of the academy’s commitment to deliver the “most innovative and complete educational courses provided by experienced and certified partners within the food and wine industry, like WSET Global,” she said.
Introducing the WSET courses would give wine lovers the opportunity to “finally attend a professional wine course in our academy enriching the choice of professional courses we already offer here”, she added.
“The WSET courses are really popular among wine and spirit employees because they gives students an excellent all-round product knowledge.”
Opened in March 2017, Bellavita Academy was set up to supports chefs and sommeliers in keeping up to date with the latest Italian culinary developments.
