Off-topic but thank you for mentioning WSET. It's the first time I've heard about it. In UK, there's something basic offered by bbc: https://www.bbcmaestro.com/courses/jancis-robinson/an-unders...

Sure. You can get WSET 1, 2 and 3 for sure in UK (https://www.wsetglobal.com/wset-school-london/wset-courses/).
Another popular wine education is CMS (Court Of Master Sommerliers) https://www.courtofmastersommeliers.org/current-course-price...
WSET is supposed to be more focused on the production of wine, where CMS is supporsed to have more focus on service/serving (for waiters). Its details and I think perhaps more of a different in the lower levels.
I can recommend WSET. I had a pretty good knowledge of wine before I started, so I did WSET2 first. WSET1 is short and pretty basic, but very good for beginners and/or if you just want to have a taske before taking one of the higher levels. WSET2 is still beginner domain I think, since there is an exam but its not a practical exam (i.e. no tasting exam). WSET3 gets serious :-)
