Wonderful instructors and a healthy pace of learning made the Professional Bartender and TIPS programs a success in my book. Really appreciated the time spent to answer questions and discuss methods to improve our mixing techniques and interviewing skills. Got a few positions lined up right now and feel confident as to my prospects. Highly recommend your course to anyone interested in pursuing a
Pro Bartender career.

Took this class because I needed a job that could provide me good pay and flexible hours. After completing the Mixology program with Wines, Steins and Cocktails, I know that I made a good choice for the training I would need to do well on the job. As far as getting the job, the instructors presented us with a special workshop on interviewing and job-search which was quite informative. Thanks for the books and all the extras. Enjoyed everything.

I’ve learned a great deal from this program. Our instructors were very pleasant and informative. The teaching methods made learning fun and all the drinks easier to remember. Sincerely appreciated that WSC provided additional time before and after class for more practice at no additional cost. Quite a deal, considering we all received an instructional manual with each of our sessions and plenty of great hand-outs on classic cocktail prep, job and interviewing skills, and working on a cruise ships and casinos. I’m more than satisfied with my experience and confident with my new skills. Looking forward to putting them to use and to revisit Wines, Steins and Cocktails for other programs in the future.
❖ K. Tomko – Canfield, OH

Wanted to let you know what a difference the training and credentials that I received from your school has made in helping me land a bartender position at the Youngstown Convocation Center. The Boston Culinary Group, a national Food & Beverage Consulting Firm that was responsible for the hiring of personnel for the center, immediately recognized my credentials that I presented from your
Professional Bartender School, the TIPS, Wine Academy and Showcase Flair-Bartender Programs. The interviewer noted that they were primarily interested in hiring only licensed, certified people to work in the bar and lounge areas because of liability insurance reasons. I was hired immediately, and despite it being my first job, I was assigned to work the VIP Room. Well, as they say, it’s all history from there. I performed well enough that someone who was opening up a nightclub in the area noticed and offered me another job with even greater income potential. I declined the offer, because I’m heading south shortly to Florida or the Carolinas. There’s even more money to be made there with all the tourists that frequent the area. And with so many bar establishments, I’ll have an opportunity to move around and move up even faster. Thanks a lot and feel free to use me as a reference.
❖ N. Rossi – Youngstown, OH

Thanks for such an informative experience. Will be putting all the hands-on practice to good use. Have a number of options close to where I live where I can pour from the premium well and make use of a few of those classic and signature cocktails that we practiced in class. Bartending has really come of age with all the new drinks and everything. Your class has prepared me well for working in the
finer establishments, especially the casinos which are popping up all over. Thanks for the confidence and the knowledge that you have shared with me and everyone in class.
❖ A. Beyer – Austintown, OH

The Professional Bartender-Mixology Program exceeded my expectations. We had tremendous teachers and the classes were all up-beat and very energizing. Everything was presented hands-on. It was just like working in a real bar, we had everything we needed to do the job. Repetition is the best way to learn, so I really enjoyed all of the hours of mixing the cocktails each session. I’ve become
a real hit with both the Martini crowd and the specialty shot-drinking patrons at the nightclubs that I work. The Showcase Flair Bartending and additional tricks presented, were an added bonus that really helped make me stand out. Over all, I am really pleased to have taken part in such a complete program. It’s nice to know that we’ve learned from people who have in fact been there and done that. Many thanks for the opportunity.
