Advanced Sommelier Examination - Theory
The Advanced Sommelier Examination is intended for persons with beverage service experience and who wish to develop their knowledge and service skills to a higher level.
Description
Candidates pursuing the Advanced Sommelier Certification will be required to successfully complete the Theory portion of the exam first. The Theory portion remains a written exam, that is administered at an industry-leading Pearson VUE testing center.
- Upon passing the Theory portion, candidates will be invited to sit the Practical and Tasting portions later in the year.
- Candidates that do not pass the Theory portion must wait until the next calendar year to re-take it.
- Candidates are still required to pass all three portions of the examination within a calendar year; if a candidate passes Theory but does not pass the Practical and/or Tasting portions, they must begin again with Theory the following year.
