Bartending schools
More often than not, bartenders are hired with little or no experience
– only because they have a connection or an “in” with
the owner. While these rookies will eventually learn the fundamentals
of making drinks, only bartending schools can teach students how to
make the IBA’s (International Bartender Association) list of official
cocktails.
The IBA’s list includes several drinks taught in bartending schools,
including:
• Rob Roys
• Manhattans
• Kamikazes
• White/Black Russians
Most bartending schools can be completed in only two weeks, offering
classes to at all time periods to accommodate any type of work schedule.
The National Bartenders Bartending School also boasts the effectiveness
of their job placement assistance for those who complete the course.
