Policy Statements

Complaints Policy

At Adventure in wine, all our students are important to us and we believe everyone has the right to fair, swift and courteous service. 

We assist students in resolving issues regarding registering for courses or non–exam related concerns and promote a positive experience.

The school operates a complaints procedure for Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) qualifications. Once we are in receipt of your formal complaint, we will deal with it promptly, effectively and in a positive manner. Adventure in Wine will do its best to resolve formal student complaints relating to WSET academic and non-academic issues within 20 working days. On occasion, the process may take longer.

Records of students’ complaints will be retained for two years. No student will be treated unfairly, criticized or retaliated against for using this procedure in a cooperative manner.

If you have a complaint or concern that you wish to raise, please contact Michelle Paris at michelle@adventureinwine.com.
