” Having been passionate about wine for years, I decided to join AIVA for a career change.
Having initially graduated with a Master of Science in Agronomy and Environmental Science from Wye College (Kings College and University of London), I chose this degree for its professionalizing aspect, particularly in wine tasting, international trade and import/export.
We were trained by enthusiasts and professionals in the field, both for tastings and for the more theoretical courses, which were equally exciting.
The visits and meetings with professionals are enriching.
We are fortunate to be in an academy where we are continually pushed towards excellence.
Thank you to the entire team for this fabulous adventure.“
”First of all, why AIVA?”
What motivated me to join AIVA was, above all, the constant contact with professionals in the wine and trade industries.
After my BTS Viticulture/Oenology apprenticeship in the Champagne region, I needed to find an establishment where I could further develop my skills in tastings, sales techniques and business management.
This Academy allows us to study with small class sizes and to professionalize ourselves with very comprehensive courses that allow us to progress quickly.
All this in a friendly atmosphere with teachers who are always attentive.“
”An excellent experience at AIVA for 3 years.
From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the quality of the teaching and the support of the professors, who were always available and passionate about their field.
The atmosphere within the school is also a major asset: a real group dynamic, mutual support between students and a community spirit that makes the journey even more enriching.
The events organized throughout the year offer numerous opportunities for personal and professional development…“
”My goal is to take over a wine estate.
AIVA provides me with practical knowledge about wine and tasting, but also about exporting, IT, management… We cover a lot of ground. Because the classes are small, we get truly personalized instruction; the teachers are genuinely invested in our success.
The atmosphere is very warm, while remaining serious.“
”"Having completed a DUT in biology and wanting to move into the wine trade, the degree offered by AIVA provides me with a lot of new knowledge, whether in tasting, accounting, management…"
Furthermore, we are in a small group, which makes things easier
The interaction with the teachers allows for almost private lessons, leading to better understanding and success.“
AIVA relies on a network of partners in the industry — estates, castles, merchants and restaurants, in France and internationally — and on a development committee made up of recognized professionals, guaranteeing the quality and relevance of the teaching.
