Verification Requirements:

To process your request, we require the following:

• Wine School Contact Information: Provide the current contact details for the institution where you earned your certification.
• Your Contact Information: Ensure we can reach you for updates or further verification needs.

Cost and Discounts:

• Standard Verification Fee: Covers the cost of processing and validating your certifications.
