In Ottawa, the WSET program is offered by Martha Kelly AIWS, CS (Certified Sommelier), director of Capital Wine School, who is a graduate of the program’s highest level, the WSET Level 4
Diploma with the post nominal designation of AIWS, Associate of the Institute of Wines and Spirits.
“My WSET studies have given me the confidence to pursue my wine industry career with the confidence that my education is of the highest standard,” Martha says.
“My fellow classmates, as well as students past and present are finding opportunities in the industry that didn’t exist for them before.
“On a personal note, it seems that not a day goes by when someone isn’t seeking me out to recommend wines or help them understand why they like the wines they do.”
Those who have completed the Algonquin Sommelier Program may start the WSET Program at Level 3.
You can contact Martha via her site to find out when her next sessions start, both for the entry-level WSET 1 and for advanced standing based on previous courses.
