Thanks for your interest in the Italian Wine Professional certification!

This education package is designed for people who work in the wine industry and want to expand and deepen their knowledge of Italian wines and to demonstrate that achievement by passing the certification exam to become an Italian Wine Professional™ (IWP). The preparatory course includes a tightly curated curriculum that focuses on mastering the large array of Italian wines and grape varieties that are seen on export markets, leaving the obscure and rare wines for later study as needed. The goal is to develop individuals who are comfortable in their knowledge of all the classic, commercially significant, and up-and-coming styles of Italian wine with a presence outside Italy.

Prerequisites: There are no specific prerequisites, but the course is not designed as an entry-level program. Students are assumed to have a working knowledge of general wine topics and terminology. In addition, students should have a basic knowledge of Italy and some of the most widely available Italian wines; if studying Italian wine for the first time, it is strongly recommended to start by taking the Discovering Italian Wine™ course.

Approximate hours to complete course: 32–48

Access to the course and exam:

  • Italian Wine Central education staff work with group managers to set the course start date, length of access to the course, and the timing of the IWP exams.
  • Individual students that are not part of a group or corporate client  are generally advised to register for the Exploring Italian Wine™ course and IWP exam bundle if they are seeking certification. Contact Italian Wine Central for further guidance.
  • Students in the IWP Corporate Course will have access to the course for a maximum of 6 months after registration, and exams normally must be completed by December of the start year. Course extensions may be purchased if desired.
  • Upon successful completion of the exam, students will receive a printable certificate in pdf format and recognition as an IWP—a certified Italian Wine Professional.

Course-exam bundle cost: As agreed with corporate clients
