The International Wine Center in New York City runs the WSET (Wine and Spirits Education Trust) programs in the USA. They claim this is a program that teaches one to become a wine professional.
The claim is totally phony. They are not certified to run a college for sommeliers or wine professionals. They're not really authorized like a college in New York! Their claims violate New York state laws*. This means their certificates and diplomas are illegitimate.
You cannot legally use a WSET certificate to gain employment, not only in New York, but anywhere in the USA. You may also reduce your work when you have a WSET degree in your resume
This company has been defrauding students for at least ten years, meaning a large number of individuals have invested untold levels of cash with this particular organization. Because the IWC may be the most widely used wine training plan in the united states, this really is possibly a multiple-thousand dollar fraud.
*The IWC/WSET have violated the following NY laws regulations by claiming they offer professional training for the food & wine industries:
New York Laws: Education: (5001 - 5010) Private Trade And Correspondence Colleges
“Schools required to be licensed or registered. No private college or computer training facility which charges tuition or fees for instruction and which is not exempted hereunder shall be operated by any person or persons, firm, corporation, or private organization for the purpose of teaching or giving instruction in any subject or subjects, unless it is licensed or registered by the department. ”
