Springboard Programme: Accolade Vinspire Programme

Region: Midlands

Year: 2021

I really liked this course with Springboard. I have been interested in wine, but I have not been sure where to start. Having just finished my studies, I found myself looking for a job and now work part time at a local pub. Through this course, I really learnt a lot about Accolade wines, Springboard and the history behind wine – as well as learnt new skills and understood more about the hospitality industry. I have passed my WSET Level 1 in wine and I am keen to continue my development and learn more as I go.

Supriya supported me on this programme as my Programme Manager and made learning digitally very easy. We had a clear timetable and learnt lots in a small space of time. My favourite part of the course was understanding more about the history of wine, I really enjoyed that part and now feel confident in recommending specific wines to my new customers.

I am excited about taking my new skills and knowledge into my hospitality role, gaining more knowledge, and working towards a promotion.
