Digital Certificate & eBadge: As of 1 August 2025, WSET has fully transitioned to Digital Certificates and eBadges for all current and historical qualifications, including replacement certificates. Candidates completing examinations on or after this date will no longer receive paper certificates. However, you may order a physical WSET lapel pin through our school for a small additional fee. Please register for your WSET Digital Certificate using the same email address you used to enrol on your course. We recommend using a personal email address rather than a school or work email, so you can continue to access your digital credentials if your circumstances change.
