Before you begin, please ensure you can access your National Wine School (NWS) account as described in the “Missing Certification, First Steps” guide.
There are two main reasons why a program might not show a certification:
- Final Submission Not Uploaded or Completed:
- You must upload or complete the final exam at the National Wine School within 180 days of being onboarded for the program: Complete The Final Exam.
- If you miss this deadline, you will need to apply to the Certification Recovery Program.
- Failure to Pass the Final:
- You can review your grade in your NWS account.
- If you did not pass the final exam, you can still earn your certification by entering the Certification Recovery Program.
Note:
All programs must be completed through the National Wine School’s online platform. Submitting via mail or email does not comply with the NWS program’s terms. If the student does not comply with these rules or submits their program late, their certification could be at risk.
