| The Wine
and Service Course is designed as an internal
course to be conducted by companies for
their staff using the official THETA-accredited
Wine and Service Course Manual and can
be presented by one lecturer or several
presenters from various roducers/distributors/management
known as facilitators. Alternatively the
learner can complete the course through
correspondence.
On successful completion of the Wine and
Service Course, the learner will have
accomplished unit FS14 on the THETA National
Qualification Framework.
Course overview
The Wine and Service Course
is presented in 6 learning units. Each
learning unit consists of approximately
1 hour of facilitated learning and 1 hour
of wine tasting. The range of topics covered
in these units provides essential support
to those involved in the service of wine.
The course work has been designed according
to the philosophy of Outcomes Based Education.
The six units that make up the Wine and
Service Course are:
• Learning Unit 1 – Introduction
to wine tasting and wine service
• Learning Unit 2 – Preparation
for wine service
• Learning Unit 3 – Equipment
for wine service
• Learning Unit 4 – Wine service
• Learning Unit 5 – After
meal service, sales and knowledge
• Learning Unit 6 – Venues
and their services
Lectures and Assignments
The Cape Wine Academy encourages
facilitators to work through the learning
units implementing a constructive approach.
This implies positive teaching learning
standards on principles of adult education.
This approach includes two-way communication
and a mutual respect for one another.
The learner remains responsible and accountable
for his/her own learning. Where possible
visual aids should be used, and interactive
wine tastings presented.
Most assignments are done within a working
group. However individual assignments
should be completed, with the aid of the
workplace facilitator. All assignments
are to be handed in simultaneously on
completion of all learning units. The
total mark consists of 40% from the individual
mark for assignments, and 60% of the exam
written at the end of the course. The
pass mark for each component is 50%.
Who should
do the South African Wine Course?
The Wine Service Course is aimed at waiters
and staff involved in the wine and service
industry. For many years the majority
of wine distributors and wine industry
players have been conducting ad-hoc training
for the hospitality industry. This Wine
Service Course book is the standard wine
service training manual for the South
African wine and service industry and
it is aligned to and meets critical outcomes
of Theta accreditation.
Outcomes
The initial cost for the Wine
Service Course book is R75 per learner.
On completion of the course, the learner,
or facilitator contacts the Cape Wine
Academy who will charge R150.00 to register
the learner, mark all the assignments,
arrange for the learner to sit a final
written exam (60%); issue a certificate
of competency to successful candidates.
With the rollout of a standardised
training manual, the industry is assured
of the following:
1. Information is presented correctly,
up to date and in an accessible format
2. A recognised qualification for waiters
countrywide
3. The ability to claim back on the Skills
Development levy
4. The learner demonstrating a better
understanding and demonstration of wine
knowledge in
4. the hospitality
and tourism industries |
