“We are Celebrating 20 years\u2026”<\/span><\/h5>\n

Since November of 2004, when we welcomed our first students offering WSET<\/strong> educational programmes in Greece.<\/span><\/p>\n

The vision of the WSPC\u00ae<\/strong> team was dual from the start. On the one hand we wanted to create a staircase, a mechanism for our students, which will help them rise closer to their dreams \u2013 leastways their wine affiliated dreams. On the other hand, we wanted to help, and to be more exact to lead, in elevating the level of the wine, spirits and sommellerie industry<\/strong> in Greece.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we are broadening our portfolio and welcome our new training modules of Coffee, Cocoa and Tea, Wine Marketing and the Psychology of Sales, with the objective of leading the upgrade of these areas in the Wine, Spirits and the HO.RE.CA. industries.<\/span><\/p>\n
