I felt like I had to add this page because in the bar world, one rookie mistake can put you on the bench and out of the job.
Some common things asked about when thinking about bartending and one of them is...
What About Bartending School?
Regardless of what every bartending school will try to drill into your head NO CERTIFICATION is needed to become a bartender. Showing a certification to a hiring manager just shows your potential employer that you really don’t know the industry well.
If you don’t believe me go to a couple of bars and ask the bartenders what schools they went to. They will probably laugh at you and say they learned almost everything on the job. Every bartender will tell you the same thing. Bartending is learned by practice.
Bartending School is the right choice for some people. If you have the extra money and need someone to motivate you to practice, attend a bartending school. But make sure to research the school. There are a lot of really…REALLY bad schools out there.
But That's Not Even The Worst Part...
The worst part is that almost every bartending school is dropping the ball when it comes to their teaching methods.
And they're doing it so badly that it's slowing down their graduation times to a crawl...
The longer you are in school, the less money you make…
If you're attending a bartending school to learn to bartend, chances are you're paying at least double what you should be.
Scary huh?
