What will you learn
We believe you learn best by doing, not revising. So you’ll be spending most of your time behind our state-of-the-art bar stations crafting cocktails and taking part in activities. After this training, you’ll feel right at home behind any bar, anywhere in the world. Here’s a taste of what you’ll cover:
- Mixing drinks
- Tasting sessions
- Masterclasses
- Working, craft and exhibition flair
- Free pour
We teach you exactly how to become a bartender. It’s about so much more than mixing drinks. It requires a diverse skill set. You’ve got to have impeccable social skills as well as technical expertise and the ability to multitask and work under pressure. We’ll give you a clear insight into the role of the bartender and how you can be the very best.
- Bartender responsibilities
- Service skills
- Personal presentation and teamwork
- Presentation and hygiene
- Opening and closing procedures
Get familiar with all the techniques used by the pros, like building, shaking, training, stirring, muddling, rolling and layering. You’ll also know exactly what equipment to use, from the glasses to the shakers and strainers
Get ready to learn 65+ exciting cocktail recipes and the techniques that go with them. You’ll master the classics from mojitos and mai tais to the bloody Mary, espresso martini and more. You’ll even get the chance to design your own cocktails in our mixology workshops and the lively cocktail competition. We’ll test your cocktail knowledge every day, so you’ll have plenty of time to practice (and taste!) them.
Forget everything you know about spirits – you’ll cover the history, production methods and uses for all kinds of spirits. So after the course, you can impress your customers (or just your mates) with your new, extensive knowledge.
Before you become a professional bartender, you have to learn all about alcohol laws. In this unit, we’ll cover age limits in different countries, units and measurements, responsible consumption and service techniques.
