The New Zealand School of Wines and Spirits (NZSWS) was established in 2006 by Jane Skilton MW. It is NZ's leading provider of WSET courses and the only WSET-approved school to be owned and operated by a Master of Wine.
NZSWS has highly qualified tutors and all its courses are delivered by either Masters of Wine or WSET Diploma Level 4 graduates. With their extensive knowledge of the world of wine, NZSWS's tutors ensure that all students have the best possible learning experience.
In the last fourteen years NZSWS has taught winemakers, viticulturists, cellar door staff, marketers, restaurant owners, bar staff, sommeliers, winery owners and many enthusiastic consumers.
Although its head office is in Auckland, NZSWS is committed to supporting students in the regions. Its tutors, based in Auckland, Wellington and Blenheim, travel extensively to deliver WSET courses across New Zealand.

WSET courses are currently available in 72 countries and in the 2018/2019 academic year 108,557 people registered to sit a WSET examination.
