Our Mission Statement
 

  • The course is structured for those who have had no prior experience in the hotel industry, as well as for those who wish to expand into the finest establishments. It covers all aspects of professional bartending and teaches people everything that bartenders need to know to do the job right.  Our schools are proud to have a very low teacher turnover rate and our programs only teach current relative information. 

 

  • The goal of our program is to qualify our graduates to work in the better bartending jobs which is why we do not teach our course in less time.  Our program is recognized by many well-know institutions such as Harvard University & part of Professional Bartending Schools of America with 34 locations nationwide and growing!  Our main goal is to provide the highest quality program in Orlando "that is easy to learn" at an affordable & competitive cost.  This may explain our high graduate placement & referral base.

Dear Sir:

My name is Roger Oldham and I am President of Professional Bartending Schools of America, Inc. Our company is a group of 34 “quality” bartending schools which twice each holds a Leadership Conferences for our school owners and key employees. This is a weekend training session that is held in many different cities. We have traveled to Florida and held our meetings in Orlando, Tampa, Miami and Key West. Other meeting has been held in Boston, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Nashville.

 

During the spring Leadership Conference, I (as the President of the company) present school owners and employees with awards based on their performance during the previous calendar year. Mr. Perusse "Owner of Orlando Bartending School" has indeed won the "School of the Year" award six years in a row. He has also received the Presidents Award and numerous awards for his contributions to our system.

The "School of the Year" award is given to a school based on these criteria;

  1. Standards of operation.

  2. Number of students trained during the previous year.

  3. Job placement performance.

  4. Attendance at PBSA held training seminars.

  5. Lack of student complaints.

This award is not intended to indicate the school is the "best in the world", etc. It is given to the "Best School in the PBSA Group" for that year. It is an award to be proud of. It is not issued lightly.

Mike Perusse "Owner of Orlando Bartending School" has also twice received the "Presidents Award". This award is given out each year to the one school owner who best exemplifies the PBSA spirit in the running of his/her schools. I personally choose this award and am proud to say that Mike has deserved this award when he has received it. Mike works long and hard to see that his schools are operated at a high level of quality and service to his students. He takes personal pride in the appearance of his schools and has remodeled all four campuses in the last two years.

In addition, Mike's Instructor, Tom Abisso, has received the "Instructor of the Year" award. This is given once a year to the instructor that I have evaluated by watching videos of their classes. 

Posted here are pictures taken at these Leadership Conferences showing Mike receiving different awards.  I cannot think of any award that is any more verifiable than this. Many other PBSA school owners have received these awards over the years, but Mike has received more "School of the Year" awards than any other single school owner.

I hope potential students will find this information helpful. If you ever have any questions or issues with any of our schools, you may call me direct in Cincinnati and I will be as helpful as I can to help answer your questions.

Respectfully,

Roger S. Oldham

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."
