The first National Bartender's School was opened in Los Angeles, California in 1984. In the years to follow, more schools were opened throughout the state of California and subsequently expanded to cover seven states. The National Bartenders School has trained tens of thousands of students to become high-quality bartenders under the wing of expert instructors.
National Bartenders School has locations across the United States including 14 schools in California and one each in Denver, Colorado; Fort Myers, Florida; Detroit, Michigan; New York City, New York; Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Seattle, Washington. Every National Bartending school is under the same umbrella of regulations, standards, classroom courses, training and a certificate-granting diploma.
Depending on the depth of the bartending program you wish to master, many certificates can be earned in just two weeks. You may wish to take other courses following the basic bartending class. Refresher courses also are an option for bartenders who simply want to step their skills up a notch in order to reap the reward of greater tips at the bar they already work. Once you have been a student at a National Bartending school, you can always return free of charge for a refresher course at any of the multiple National Bartenders School locations.
Every National Bartenders School graduate is guaranteed job placement following graduation. Furthermore, if your bartending job is lost for any reason, the National Bartending School will simply find you a replacement job opportunity at another bar establishment. This way, if you relocate or circumstances change that create the need for a different assignment, you will always have a job.
