9-Part Course: French Wines and Wine Regions 🇫🇷

SVH stands for: Stichting Vakbekwaamheid Horeca.
SVH’s core goal is to increase professional competence in the hospitality industry. Together with partners from hospitality education and the business world, SVH develops (digital) learning materials and teaching methods for (vocational) education, trainers, and entrepreneurs. SVH ensures knowledge by administering exams and provides insight into the training offerings for the hospitality industry. In this way, they help align hospitality education with the business world, support innovation and increase professional competence in the sector. www.svh.nl

The demand for education is increasing strongly, because more and more people want to know more. 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 organization 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. You can gather knowledge and gain experience at your own pace. 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. I therefore recommend that you first go through the lessons thoroughly and only then answer the questions.

SVH, SDEN and WSET are not training courses but exam levels from three independent organizations. Wine courses can be found on every street corner nowadays, you must find a recognized trainer that matches your wishes. Because WSET is the largest organization for wine education worldwide, it is often mistakenly seen as an internationally recognized training. In terms of content, the training lags compared to SVH and SDEN, which both have industry recognition with 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 an hospitality employee needs to know about giving good advice to the guests and hobbyist 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
