"The National Bartending School of Los Angeles is fantastic! The atmosphere is so welcoming and inspiring it makes you want to work hard at becoming a great bartender. The people that work there are awesome and the job placement after you graduate is wonderful too. I still go in there and practice from time to time 2 years after graduating. I would highly recommend this school to anybody who is interested in bartending."

"As far as the school goes, Andrew Willett is AMAZING. He truly is an asset to the Hollywood NBS. He is so knowledgable and really gives you a feel for how drinks SHOULD be done properly even if we get a job that wants us to make drinks "cheap and slutty" with sour mix. So I give him 5 stars! And I always appreciate your emails, they are that glimmer of hope in my week."

"After attending the school I interviewed with Bar 1912 at The Beverly Hills Hotel. During the interview they asked me several questions to test my knowledge; the difference between a Gibson and a Gimlet, the grading system for Cognac, to name a couple. Thanks to your extensive training I passed the test with flying colors and was hired as part of their opening team. I'm still there six months later and very happy with my job. Had it not been for the course I don't think I would have made it... Thanks for everything,"

"I currently work at the Bonaventure Brewing Co. in the Westin Hotel downtown.  I went to bartending school in 2001, but I still use the job leads.  I find them very helpful.  Thanks. "

"I'm happily working at Riordan's Tavern in Downtown Los Angeles. It's still so great to have your job postings, though, as they keep me informed on all the hottest new jobs around town, so I can stay on top of my options.Lastly, I just have to say that I owe so much to Andrew, a true mixologist instructor who knew how to make real artistic sense of mixing drinks, rather than just spouting ingredients and recipes. Thanks so much!"

"Dear NBS, Thank you very much for your job board postings. I recently replied to an ad from a hotel in Marina Del Rey. I went in for an interview and was hired a week later! "

"Attending NBS was one of the best decisions of my life. The training I received prepared me for the challenging career of bartending. The teachers were very thorough, the material is demanding but fun and you will not graduate until they are sure you are ready to be behind a bar. This is one of the only schools that invites you back whenever you need to practice and provides you with job placement assistance. I received my first job within 3 weeks of graduation! I highly recommend NBS"
