Is your bartending training hands-on?

80% Hands-on Training:  Our Professional Bartender's Program is approximately 80% hands-on behind a fully functional training bar with an instructor with years of experience.  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 has visual aids & tutorials that follow and support the hands-on portion of the training to help people at all levels learn better.  That is why the NEBS Program includes a Tutorial Website

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. 

When you register here on-line, you'll ALSO GET immediate access to our on-line tutorial web site & where you can start learning our hands-on program right now!  The NEBS Program is in fact a hands-on course and the tutorials are only used for class preparation & review.  As a graduate, you'll be able to return to the school anytime for refresher classes & also see instructional videos on how to make the latest new drinks & learn about new products too!  You will see our up-dated program every time you log on to the tutorial web site!

Do bartenders need to be certified ?

Certification is mandatory in some states and in most cities and towns throughout the country.  Servers of alcohol need to be certified with an approved alcohol training program.  OBS includes ServSafe with our Professional Bartender's Program.

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

Visit To Compare Quality:

1. Visiting the school is the only way to determine the quality & value of a everything that is included.  Request information on the instructors who will be teaching you during your program.  Visit & Compare.  Be concerned if a school talks down another, it is not only unprofessional but may indicate that they can't compete.

What are the advantages of enrolling in the OBS Program?

OBS is original as in our approach toward training and job placement.  We get results!

 

Our school was the innovators of the now famous laminated drink list and the first school in the country to post a web site.   OBS was named "School of the Year" 7 years in a row by www.pbsa.com  As for our training materials:  OBS does not buy thousands of books at a time like other schools.  With the OBS program, you won't get an old book that was printed a long time ago with old information.  You'll get a manual with up-to date information with all the new products and recipes.  TUTORIAL WEB SITE TOO!   The manual has hundreds of pictures of all the brand name bottles & bar tools that you'll be working with a proper description of what to do on the job. Sounds good?  Wait until you walk through our doors & see our facilities and meet our professional instructors!
