USSA

The United States Sommelier Association (USSA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and teaching of the wine culture to wine lovers and industry professionals. Aspiring sommeliers can enroll in two levels of USSA certification programs, beginning with the foundation course.  Only those candidates holding foundation level certificates may sign on for the advanced level course.  Upon successful completion of both written and blind tasting examinations, candidates are awarded sommelier certificates .
