Why be a bartender?

Have you ever looked around a bar, curiously envying the happy bartenders having a great time while raking in gobs of money? Did you wonder how they learned the skills necessary to pour drinks so quickly, remember all those recipes, and keep their cool all at the same time? How did they get there?

 
 
 

Graduate Success Story!

"After recently attending Orlando Bartending School, I got a few bartending job offers within a week or so after graduation.  One offer was to work at Planet Hollywood which was fast paced bartending job with late hours.  

I decided to take a bartending job offer with the Clarion Hotel due to company benefits & career advancement opportunities."

How old do I need to be ?

18 years old is the legal age:  Yes it is the law in Florida and in most states that bartenders & all servers of alcohol need to be at least 18 years old.  The drinking age in most states is 21.


Is your bartending training all hands-on?

80% Hands-on Training:  Our bartending training is approximately 80% hands-on behind a fully functional training bar.  Everything is real with the exception of the alcohol.  Our alcohol is simulated with color pigments for a real drink looking effect.

No Real Alcohol: It is illegal for a school to have on premises alcohol of any kind.  When it comes time to teach layered drinks, flamed drinks & pouring beer, short quality video clips are essential for explaining these subjects. 

Visual Equipment:  Every successful training program should have visual equipment & tutorials that follow and support the hands-on program to help people at all levels to learn better. 

Training Web Site:  Our training web site has flash video clips that help students review lessons better than any bartenders manual, right from their computer. 


Do bartenders need to be certified ?

Certification is mandatory:  It is the law in Most states but not yet in Florida.  Alcohol education is the employers responsibility to hire bartenders who have training in the area of the laws.  I in most states servers of alcohol are certified with an approved alcohol training program.  Alcohol Responsibility is a part of our diploma program & Included with the tuition fee.  


Why is it so important to visit before choosing a school ?

Visit & Compare Quality:

  1. Visiting a school is the only way to determine value & quality.  Request a complete Program Out-line.
