SVH stands for: Stichting Vakbekwaamheid Hospitality.
SVH’s core objective is to enhance professional competence in the hospitality sector. Together with partners from hospitality education and the business community, SVH develops (digital) learning resources and teaching methods for vocational education (MBO), trainers and business owners. SVH ensures standards of knowledge by setting examinations and provides insight into the range of training programmes available for the hospitality sector. In this way, they help to ensure that hospitality education is aligned with the needs of the business world; we contribute to innovation and enhance professional competence within the sector. www.svh.nl
The demand for education is increasing rapidly as people seek more knowledge. In addition to our practical training courses, we use modern digital learning methods such as E-learning, Game-learning and Mobile learning.
Below is an overview of the different knowledge levels:
– Level 1 (Basic)
– Level 2 (Intermediate)
– Level 3 (Advanced)
– Level 4 (Expert)
SVH is an independent organisation and places great value on transparency and reliability. That’s why they have asked the Foundation Examination Board to provide external supervision of all SVH exams.
The Foundation Examination Board is an independent institution that supervises professional qualifying and/or function-oriented exams. The Examination Board has conducted various audits and found that the SVH exams meet the requirements.
This way we ensure that the quality of your SVH certificates and diplomas is additionally guaranteed.
Game learning, that’s learning through entertainment. By offering information and/or skills in game form, we make learning, discovering and experiencing fun. You stay motivated and the knowledge you gain sticks better and is available in your own time. The E-learning│Game Learning contains a unique learning method. The program is built on knowledge, insight and application. It can, therefore, be quite challenging to answer the questions. We do strongly recommend that you first go through the lessons thoroughly before answering the questions.
SVH, SDEN and WSET are not training courses but exam levels from three independent organisations. To obtain the right diploma, you must find a recognised trainer who meets your requirements. Because WSET is the largest organisation for wine education worldwide, it is often mistakenly seen as an internationally recognised training. In terms of content, the training lags behind SVH and SDEN, which both have industry recognition and international appeal.
Theoretical and experimental frameworks.
Theoretical and experimental frameworks apply to both SVH and SDEN exams. For SVH exams, a plus applies, meaning extra content on practical applicability. This additional content relates to everything a hospitality employee needs to know about giving good advice to guests and hobbyists at home about wine and food.
No, that’s not mandatory! But… a successful course/training or education should be crowned with a meaningful diploma, the irrefutable proof that you have a certain level of knowledge. Under the exams section in the main menu, you’ll find the various dates for the official SVH exam. For more information about exams, also see SVH.nl

At the moment, there are a considerable number of vineyards in the Netherlands. It is estimated that approximately 200 vineyards sell their wine commercially. Most of these vineyards cover an area of over 1,000 m². Approximately half of all commercial vineyards are 1 hectare or larger. Wijnhoeve de Kleine Schorre (Schouwen-Duiveland) even covers an area of 10 hectares.
The ‘Apostelhoeve’ near Maastricht, known for centuries as a prestigious vineyard, has gained international recognition for its wines. In total, the Netherlands has approximately 240 hectares of vineyards. Gelderland has the highest number of vineyards, followed by Limburg. In addition, many hobbyists enjoy growing their own grapes and making wine, though the exact number is difficult to estimate.
During our course, we take you on a journey through various Dutch wine regions. Our passionate wine experts share their knowledge of history, production methods, grape varieties, and tasting techniques. We also delve deeper into the importance of good food and wine pairings to fully enjoy each wine.
