I was so impressed with the Professional Bartender Program and the instructors’
vast knowledge of the Spirits Industry, that I am now interested in expanding my
skills by participating in some courses from your Craft-Beer and Wine Academy.
Especially enjoyed the hands-on approach that was part of all of my class
sessions. All the practice really helped to make the learning stick. The
Interviewing Workshop that was included was a refreshing take on how to put all of
our new skills to good use. I’ve got a few job prospects lined up and am
interested in starting my own Pro Bartender Event Service. For now, thank-you all
and I’ll be looking forward to working with you again in the future.

Received more than I expected. Very informative with many lively mixology practice
sessions. Knowledgeable instructors with a lot of hospitality-training experience.
Was more than satisfied with the all of the instructional materials that came with
the course. Plenty of good info that will be used to perform on my new job at the
Youngstown Country Club. The TIPS and the Job-Interviewing workshops we’re real
bonuses and made it east to interview at the upscale places. I made use of the
easy pay as you go plan which made it possible for me and my friends to attend.
In all, I’m very pleased and very confident with my new skills that will be used at
my new job at the Country Club.
❖ T. Quigley – Boardman, OH

The quality of this program was great. Very well taught, good information, and lots
of practice. I liked that the instructors had a good sense of humor and were
willing to answer any of our questions. The instructional manuals were very
thorough and followed our class sessions in a step-by-step fashion, which made it
even easier to learn. The job and interviewing tips really made the course come
alive. Included lots of information on how to answer all kinds of questions and
how to “smartly” present yourself to all kinds of employers. I feel very well
prepared now and consider this to be one of my best learning experiences.
❖ J. Jackson – Warren, OH

The Professional Bartender and TIPS Programs taught by Wines, Steins and Cocktails
were first rate. The hands-on practice directed by instructors who own their own
businesses made this experience a winner for everyone. Lots and lots of mixing and
plenty of review each session really made learning easier and a lot of fun. Got a
job at the Avalon Resort right after completing my training. I’m pleased with
everything about taking part in this course and recommend it to anyone who wants to
be a Professional Bartender.
❖ J. Prox – Niles, OH

I’m a college student and I feel that the money that I invested into my training
with Wines, Steins and Cocktails to become a Professional Bartender was well worth
it. The instructors who conducted the course were there early and stayed late for
anyone who had questions or wanted to practice more to develop their mixing skills.
I took the 36 hour program, but came for at least another 7 hours extra at no
charge. Wish I had such energetic classes in college. So much fun and so much
practice, the time passed so fast. Learned much and can see myself working in a
number of hot-spots around town. I have friends that have taken this class and
they are working jobs where they really roll in the cash. I’m especially looking
forward to working at the beach this summer, so things are definitely moving in the
right direction. Thanks for the wonderful opportunity.
❖ B. Underwood – Masury, OH

Well put together program run by an organization that knows the nightclub and bar
business. Right to the point, up to date with a lot of hands-on practice.
Training materials and bar manuals followed the topics discussed and provide a
good reference for review. Flexible payment plan and Interviewing Workshop were
icing on the cake. Just a fantastic experience at a very reasonable price. Highly
recommend to a anyone who wants to become a Professional Bartender and to those
beer-tenders who really want to step up their game big time.
❖ S. Irgand – Hubbard, OH

Well thought out and extremely well presented program for anyone who wants to
become a Professional Mixologist. All hands-on, knowledgable instructors, easy
payment plans, and informative job-search and interviewing tips. Excellent trackrecord.
