Transitional Diploma Students
The current format for the WSET Diploma began during the 2003-04 academic year. Anyone who took a Diploma exam during the 2002- 2003 academic year, under the previous format, is classified as a Transitional Student - even if he or she failed every exam taken.
You are a Transitional Student only if you took a Diploma Exam during 2002-03; if you registered for and paid for Diploma classes or Home Study during 2002-03 but didn't take any exams in that year, you are still considered a new student.
If you are a transitional student, the changes to the Diploma affect you: Passing grades for individual portions of the "old" Diploma are good for six years only, so any portion passed before the 2002-03 academic year is no longer applicable to the "new" Diploma. Which segments of the old Diploma earn what credits for the new Diploma is a complicated issue-- there are 64 possible permutations. Transitional students should contact us for a la carte prices keyed to specific portions of the Diploma that they still need to complete.
