Join us on the 31st of March 2023 for the SASA Introductory Exam. It is aimed at any service professional looking to learn the basic skills of professional beverage service. It will require a basic knowledge of wine, South African wine regions, and wine service.
How it Works:
The examination consists of two sections:
A closed-book theory test with multiple-choice questions covering basic wine knowledge, basic wine service, general service etiquette, surface knowledge of other beverages, basic food, and wine pairing, and alcohol awareness
An oral examination based on real-life service scenarios with a focus on basic wine knowledge and wine service
The SASA introductory Sommelier Examination is open to all SASA members to sit without any prerequisites (i.e. having completed any other relevant wine qualification), under the condition that the member has accumulated in his/her own opinion enough experience elsewhere to attempt the examination.
