Bartending Course 
Course Overview
Our Bartending Course is designed to provide students with complete and comprehensive training in all aspects of Bartending as well as being a 'Bartender'. Beginning with introduction, the student will learn to free-pour, use a jigger, and become familiar with all areas of the bar: speedrack, well, back-bar, etc. Open forum lectures by Professional Bartenders on procedures and techniques assist students while learning hands-on behind a real bar. Students will easily remember over 500 drink recipes and learn how to up-sell and market their abilities. Our objective is to produce a confident and proficient entry level bartender, who is prepared to work anywhere immediately!.
We also offer Flash and Flair bartending training for those students interested in a more theatrical bartending presentation. It's challenging. It's physical. It's intense. It's a blast! Please contact us for more information.
Course Length
The Bartending Course is 24 hours and can be completed in a 1, 2 or 3 week program. However, a student may attend as long as he/she needs to complete the course for no extra cost. We also offer a 2-weekend course to accommodate those still wanting to learn, but have not other free time!.
Course Schedule
Morning class times are from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Wednesday. Evening class times are from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Wednesday. Students may mix and match Evening and Morning classes. We also offer a consolidated weekend course once a month, that occurs over two consecutive weekends, a Friday evening and all day Saturday. We must have at least three students enrolled for the weekend course in order to hold it. Please call for specific times.
