How to set up your room for a Remote Invigilation (RI) exam
You will need one ‘primary’ device with a webcam and microphone to take your exam – like a laptop.
Plus one extra ‘secondary’ device to record you taking the exam – like a smart phone or tablet. Watch the video to see how to set this up.
You’ll also have access to an online chat function during your exam. This will connect you to an examiner to troubleshoot any issues.
if you really need to, you can see below in Technical Requirements for more detailed information. However, the systems check performed 10 days before your exam will iron out any issues with your devices. It will give you time to locate a different device if need be.
Technology Requirements
There are 3 systems that WSET uses to administer the full course.
System 1 - Canvas; the WSET learning management system
In Canvas, you can message your instructor, watch videos and complete wine tasting exercises and view flashcards.
You”ll be invited to join Canvas by WSET via email link. Keep this email as it is your best way to access your account. Otherwise, use this link.
Then, from your computer or laptop, login to Canvas using your email link. Go to your ‘Account’ in the top left. Then, go to ‘QR for Mobile login’. Click ‘Proceed’.
Finally, scan the QR code that you just created on your computer using the Canvas Student app on your phone or tablet. Now, you can watch videos here too!
You may check the canvas website for exact specifications here
You will only be able to access the videos for the duration of your 4-week Level 1 course.
But you will continue to have support from Joanne until the end of your exam and beyond!

A system check should be completed 10 days before your exam
Add examsnoreply@wsetglobal to your approved email sender list within your email account.
You will receive an email from WSET 10 days before your exam to conduct a systems check and make sure all is well. Complete the systems check immediately after receiving the email from WSET. This way, if you run into problems, we can rebook the exam without charging you any extra fees (giving you time to address the system issues, for example). Otherwise, there may be a rebooking fee for you to take the exam.
If you don’t conduct the systems check, you will receive an email 3 days before your exam to remind you!
You’ll also receive an email link to your exam 3 days before.
If you don’t receive the link to your exam, check your spam folder. If still not found, email joanne@sommwine.com immediately, fill out this form and submit it to WSET.
