Exam Information for Home Study Students
Once you have decided to sit an exam on a particular date, you must give us one month's notice so we can order your exam copy from England. View our event calendar for specific dates we offer exams.
We will also need you to give us your date of birth. Since the WSET tests have been taken by hundreds of thousands of people over the years, there may be someone out there with the same name as you. And since the tests are given in 47 countries, identifiers that other schools use (Social Security Numbers, drivers' licenses) won't do. Instead, the WSET will issue you an unique identifier number based on your name and date of birth, which you will use for all exams.
