American Bartending School

I took a two-​week course here a few years ago, and spent my last $ 400 to do so. I was desperate after being laid off, and they insisted that being a «certified» bartender was the only way to get a job bartending. I had a lot of fun, and I learned quite a bit about making these drinks.
The school promises to help with job placement and free refresher courses and practice as needed. However, after completing the course, I never once received my certificate of completion, I never received a call for work, and every bar I applied to laughed me out the door. Worse yet, when I decided to practice more in order to dazzle a bar manager into hiring me, they told me I couldn’t come in to practice without my certificate of completion — the one they never sent me. Naturally, I paid with a money order, so my bank had no record of my tuition payment.
Skip it. Learn from actual bartenders at bars, restaurants, and parties.

American bartending school is the best way to learn your way around the bar quickly with fun and efficiency.

I needed to make some extra money and I always thought that bartending sounded like a fun way to do that. What’s better than meeting new people and making money? The only problem was that I didn’t have any experience. This lead me to contacting The American Bartending School and I am so happy I made that call. I won’t lie, I was very intimated showing up for my first class. All I kept thinking is that I haven’t been behind a bar before and the only drinks I have ever made were for my friends at home. These concerns were put to rest as soon as I showed up. My instructor was Pablo and he made everyone in class feel comfortable. His method of teaching was great. He makes you laugh, he is always testing you and he treats you like you are an employee at his bar. His goal is to prepare you for every situation you may run into during your bartending career and he succeeds at completing that goal. I passed my final exam last night and I am thrilled to make my first customer their drink of choice. Thank you American Bartending School for such a great experience!
