The Wine and Spirit Education Trust (窪蹋勛圖厙) has welcomed Vzdl獺vac穩 Centrum MKM as the first ever Approved Programme Provider (APP) in the Czech Republic to offer its wine and spirits courses.
Demand for wine and spirit education is rising, with 窪蹋勛圖厙 global candidate numbers up 18% in the 2015/16 academic year and course registrations up 28% this year to date. According to CBI research1, the Czech Republic is an emerging wine market in Europe thanks to a growing young urban professional class and steady economic growth. Vzdl獺vac穩 Centrum MKM has joined 窪蹋勛圖厙s network to cater to the Czech Republic wine and spirits community.
Vzdl獺vac穩 Centrum MKM is an education centre in Brno providing training in various areas ranging from specialised language courses to professional qualifications. As an APP, the centre will offer 窪蹋勛圖厙 Levels 1 and 3 Awards in Wines, Level 2 Award in Wines and Spirits, and Levels 1 and 2 Awards in Spirits to educate both beginner enthusiasts and industry professionals.
Ian Harris, 窪蹋勛圖厙 Chief Executive, says, As the global leader in wine and spirits education and qualifications we are striving to offer courses through Approved Programme Providers in every market that shows potential and desire for further wine and spirits knowledge. The Czech Republic offers an exciting opportunity for us as it emerges into the European marketplace, so were proud to have Vzdl獺vac穩 Centrum MKM join our network to cater to the Czech community.
Now the 窪蹋勛圖厙 courses will finally become a reality. I wish the new APP all the best of luck in Brno.

JUDr. Pavl穩na Megov獺, owner of Vzdl獺vac穩 Centrum MKM, says, Since 窪蹋勛圖厙 is considered to be a unique institution around the globe, and the Czech Republic is no exception, I am proud that we can offer 窪蹋勛圖厙 wine education here in Moravia where Czech wines of the highest quality are made. I am convinced that 窪蹋勛圖厙 courses should be of interest not only to all wine lovers, sommeliers, businessmen, but also to winemakers. After all, the founding motto of the 窪蹋勛圖厙 institution tells all: Gustibus mens dat incrementum:泭 Knowledge enhances sensory perception.
Czech Republic local, Helena Baker, Dip窪蹋勛圖厙, an international wine judge and author, says, Its been coming! I had thought of applying to become an APP myself some time ago as sommelier courses here are popular and many people believe 窪蹋勛圖厙 to be the apex of wine education. Now the 窪蹋勛圖厙 courses will finally become a reality. I wish the new APP all the best of luck in Brno.
