Sébastien
" Passionate about wine for many years, I decided to join AIVA after a professional reconversion.
Initially graduated with a Master of Science in Agronomy and Environmental Science from Wye College (Kings College and University of London), I chose this diploma for the professionalization aspect, notably in wine tasting, international trade, and import/export which will be essential in my future career.
We have been trained by enthusiasts and professionals in the sector, both for the tastings and for the more theoretical courses, which are just as exciting.Visits and meetings with professionals are enriching.
We are fortunate to be in an academy where we are continually pushed to excel.
Thanks to the whole team for this fabulous
adventure. " -

"My goal is to take over a winery.
AIVA brings me practical knowledge about wine and tasting, but also in export, in computer science, in management... We're touching on a lot of things. Because the classes are small, we have the right to really personalized courses; Teachers are concerned about our success.
The atmosphere is very warm, while remaining serious. "

Timothée
"With a strong experience in sommellerie in the hotel and restaurant business, I turned to AIVA to acquire the necessary knowledge to enter the world of commerce. They were able to meet my expectations during my year in Double Diploma Bac+3 Licence Professionnelle-Diplôme Supérieur en Vins et Spiritueux. I thus decided to continue with them in MBA in order to deepen the notions of import-export. At the same time, I work for the company "Vins de propriétés et châteaux de France" which has trusted me and trained me in the business of mass distribution. Passionate about the brewing world, I am pursuing the project of developing and promoting craft brewers in mass distribution.
We are thus developing partnerships with various Alsatian breweries in order to better represent them in stores, such as Brasserie Perle, Brasserie 3 mats, etc... "
