Classes- On Your Own Time!
Attending school with a hectic life doesn’t have to be hard! National Bartending School offers classes two to three times per day, Monday through Saturday! As a student, you have so many classes to choose from- only attend the ones that fit with our schedule! National Bartending School will never assign you a set schedule of classes. It is completely up to our students to determine their own class times, at their convenience!
Our “Learn to Bartend” course teaches you everything you need to know for your upcoming career in bartending, all on your own time! Classes are each two hours in length, and contain a lecture and a practical portion. During the lecture, an educator explains the chapter in depth to the students, and demonstrates any necessary skills. During the practical hour, the students are provided the opportunity to practice what they have just learned. They are encouraged to mix drinks, practice their speed, and take practice tests, thus preparing them for the final exam.
The course is broken up into ten modules, with each class dedicated to one module. The classroom is set up as a bar, designed to give students hands on knowledge of working in a bar setting. Classes are available each day to whichever students attend first- there is no need to pre book. The schedule that you decide upon is completely up to you, so long as you complete your classes within one year of registration. It is completely possible to complete the course in as little as two to three week, with full time attendance.
After deciding on a class to attend, students just have to arrive on time and sign in. After class, be sure to sign out. Your schedule is up to you and based on your individual needs. National Bartending School makes it easy to attend on your own time, and complete school on your own schedule!
The Best Work Placement in Los Angeles
We at National Bartending School offer the best work placement of all bartending schools in Southern California. This work placement assists students in making an income and accruing experience in the food and beverage industry, which is invaluable when seeking permanent employment as a bartender. Students are eligible for employment as event servers, cocktail waiters, or bar backs. After completing school and receiving your bartending certification, graduates are able to work as bartenders. Event bartenders usually make a higher hourly wage than the servers or bar backs, leading to a much better gratuity. In addition, National Bartending School is contacted each week by many of the best bars and restaurants in the Los Angeles area, seeking to hire bartenders for part time and full time positions!
Our staff will post job opportunities as they come in. When you find a job that fits into your schedule, contact your designated staff member and apply. National Bartending School makes the process easy, guaranteeing success!
