Hold my beer: Brainscape has just released two certified flashcard collections for the WSET's first-ever beer certification courses!

This makes Brainscape the first study app in the world to provide a supplement for these formal beer courses. And considering that most students who sign up for the WSET's beer certifications are already working full-time jobs, the availability of a study app that empowers them double their study efficiencyanytime, anywhere—is like being handed a crisp, cool lager on a swampy day!

First-ever study supplement for first-ever WSET beer courses

For decades, the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET) has carried a formiddable, global reputation in the realm of wine and spirits education. A WSET certification on your résumé carries serious clout in any restaurant, hospitality, or beverages industry job interview, with the WSET Diploma being the Mount Everest of qualifications.

Now, the WSET has finally extended its authority into the world of beer, with two brand-new certifications: the WSET Level 1 Beer and WSET Level 2 Beer. And as a study app that maintains a handsome bouquet of supplemental flashcard collections for the WSET's other wine and spirits courses, Brainscape wasted little time in compiling smart, adaptive flashcards for these two beer certifications:

Brainscape has broken down the WSET's curriculum for Beer Level 1 and 2 into two collections of flashcards, which use a spaced repetition algorithm to help students learn the content much faster, anytime, anywhere.

(Brainscape has also published a free WSET Beer study guide for anyone taking either of these courses.)

What makes these flashcards pivotal to the people who are studying these new courses is that they provide a convenient and hyper-efficient way to ingrain the material covered. As it was stated earlier, many people who enroll in these courses are working professionals looking to advance or change their careers; or have been enrolled by their companies to advance their skills and knowledge. As such, convenience and efficiency are paramount to a successful study experience (not to mention passing the final exam).

Together with WSET educator and beverages industry veteran Brian Mitchell, Brainscape has distilled the WSET Beer Level 1 and 2 curriculum into these two flashcard collections, which are designed to help students learn much faster, and retain the facts they need to crush the exams.

The WSET Level 1 flashcards cover an efficient, yet thorough education in beer, including the range of beer styles, how they are made, and how to store, serve, and pair beers with food. 

The WSET Level 2 flashcards then take that education further with a deep dive of 60 beer styles, their production methods, labeling, and characteristics.

This is critical information for someone who works in the beverages, restaurant, or hospitality industry, whether one aspires to become a sommelier, a craft brewer, a beverages sales executive, or a bartender with killer knowledge in the best brewskis for patrons to try based on their preferences!

And, of course, with Brainscape’s hyper-efficient learning algorithm—and convenient learning format—learners can crush both of these beer courses easily in whatever free time they can spare, even if they're already working a full-time job. 

Brainscape is optimized to help students learn as efficiently and painlessly as possible, while eliminating all barriers to getting started and staying motivated.

So, whether for personal interest or professional gain, Brainscape’s WSET Beer Level 1 and WSET Beer Level 2 flashcards are the perfect addition to any education in beverages.

Cheers!
