"I don't know what I should write."

This is the most common thing I hear from Level 3 students. They’ve read the book. They’ve studied the regions. But when they sit down to write, they either say too little — or write everything they know and run out of time.

Level 3 requires precision: knowing what to say, how to say it, and when to stop.
This program teaches you that — through structured documents, two video libraries, thousands of practice questions, tasting note templates, and direct feedback from a DipWSET educator.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS — FOUR PHASES

This program follows your natural study path.

Every resource has a purpose and a moment. The four phases below show you what to use, when, and why.

Active recall practice — the most efficient method for locking in factual knowledge. Use daily, in short sessions.
2,195 flashcards
Short written answer questions (SWAQ)
Mock written practice across 22 topics. Start early — the feedback only helps if you have time to act on it.
22 topics · 550 points

THE HUMAN LAYER — PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP

You don't study alone.

Every student in the program gets access to a private Facebook group — the place where the studying gets personal.

WSET Level 3 — Private Facebook Group
Ask questions directly
Stuck on a concept? Post it. Petar answers questions in the group regularly — not a chatbot, not a FAQ page.
Get guidance, not just answers
When you're unsure how to approach a topic or structure a written answer, the group is where you ask — and where you learn from what other students are asking too.
Stay motivated
Studying alone is hard. The group reminds you that other students are on the same path — and that the finish line is closer than it feels.
Share your progress
Post your score tracker results, your tasting notes, your written practice. Community accountability works.

Private group access is included in the program.
This is where studying becomes a conversation.

THE MOST VALUABLE THING IN THE PROGRAM

Written feedback from a DipWSET educator — on your actual exam practice.

No self-study resource can do this. No flashcard app can do this.

When you’ve attempted your mock Short Written Answer Questions, submit two of them — each worth 25 points — and receive written feedback from Petar on your answers.

 

Feedback on 2 Short Written Answer mock questions
(25 points each · 50 points total)

This tells you specifically what you wrote well, what you missed, and how to restructure your answer to score higher.
It is the single fastest way to close the gap between knowing the content and passing the exam.

Tip: submit your mocks early — not the week before the exam. The feedback only helps you if you have time to act on it.
