Welcome to your new resources

As part of WSET’s ongoing commitment to clarity and support, we’ve restructured the APP Handbook into four focused documents. These resources are designed to be easier to navigate, simpler to understand, and more adaptable to your local context and the way you work.

Each document plays a specific role in helping you meet WSET’s expectations while giving you the flexibility to deliver exceptional learning experiences.

APP Handbook

Your core reference for delivering WSET qualifications. This document outlines the principles and expectations that guide APP operations, with practical scenarios to help you apply them effectively.

Exams Guidance for APPs

A detailed guide to administering WSET exams, including procedures, timelines and best practices to ensure assessments are delivered with integrity and consistency.

WSET Policies for APPs

A collection of key policies that all APPs must follow, covering areas such as privacy and data protection, complaints, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. These are the non-negotiables that underpin our global standards.

General Information for APPs

Essential background information about WSET, our qualifications, and how we work with APPs – useful context for both new and experienced course providers.

These documents will be updated periodically, and we’ll always let you know when changes are made. For now, we encourage you to explore them – they’ll soon be integrated into our new website for even easier access.
