A classroom course is fun — but not needed to pass.
We never understood why a self-study exam required months in a classroom. So we built something better.
Based on the publicly available SDEN exam requirements and syllabus — every chapter, every exam term, both levels. Independently developed, not affiliated with SDEN.
We know where the pitfalls are — so you practise exactly the way the real exam asks.
From your first lesson to your final mock exam — you won't need anything else.
Every chapter rewritten in clear English (and Dutch). No separate book to buy.
Each chapter split into 10-minute lessons: theory first, then apply it immediately.
Per lesson, per category, or as a full timed mock exam — exactly like exam day.
See what you would score right now after every session, and automatically train your weakest category.
Train the tasting part in the app too: aroma wheel, tasting grids and blind-tasting practice.
Enter your exam date and get a manageable daily programme all the way to the finish.
