The Wine & Spirit Education Trust Intermediate Certificate (formerly the WSET Certificate) has received Government recognition within the National Qualifications (NQF), placing the WSET's exams in the same structure as qualifications such as NVQs, as well as working alongside GCSEs and A levels. The old WSET Certificate becomes the WSET Level 2 Intermediate Certificate in Wines, Spirits and Other Alcoholic Beverages. Accreditation for the Higher Certificate is expected later this year. If approved, the qualification will become the Level 3 Advanced Certificate in Wines and Spirits.
