Wanted to thank your instructors for doing such a fine job in training my entire staff of bartenders on the professional aspects of Mixology. I could see the difference immediately in their delivery and have been complemented on numerous occasions on the quality of their work. Also, getting all my bartenders and serving staff TIPS Certified has been a definite plus in getting my liability
insurance costs reduced. And, of course, the total investment was tax-deductible. I’ve informed other bar owners in the area about my experience and will continue to recommend your organization. Thank-you and keep up the great work.

The Mixology Program was fun, in depth and easy to understand because of the terrific instructors that we had for each session. Since they all owned their own businesses, they really taught a great course and shared a lot of practical on the job information with all of us. In addition, they spent a lot of time helping us to develop our skills by running drills and practicing our drinks. We mixed for several hours each session, so it didn’t take long for it to sink in. Together with all the mixing practice, we were taught how to interview from both a job candidate’s and the hiring manager’s views. Found this to be a most unique and realistic approach to how to get a job. Overall, the course was very informative and a lot of fun, the kind you look forward to going to because the teachers and the material holds your attention. Highly recommend this great learning experience.

I’ve been bartending for some time, but wanted to learn Professional Mixology. Found this program to be a real find. The instructors were the best I’ve experienced and their teaching methods made it is easy to remember all kinds of valuable information that can be used immediately on the job. The hand-outs and bar manuals we received really helped with all the mixing practice and were filled
with pretty much every kind of drink recipe that I’ll ever need to be able to work in the places where you can make some real money.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff of Wines, Steins and Cocktails for the opportunity to participate in such a lively and informative program. A great performance of instructor led, reinforced hands-on learning with actionable steps needed to achieve our goal of becoming a confidant and competent pro bartender job candidates. I’m sure that all my classmates would agree that we got a lot for our money and can look forward to getting a good return on our investment. Thank you all so much.

I learned a tremendous amount of material and acquired some great skills in the process. I wish my high school and college classes were as interesting and my instructors had such passion in what they taught. You could see and feel from the onset that this was a well thought out and classy program, one that has a history of training not only professional bartenders, but the full scope of hospitality personnel. The instructors had a vast knowledge of food & beverage, nightclub, pub, and bar operations. They welcomed literally all kinds of questions, from interviewing & job search, to working in casinos, aboard cruise ships, how much income to anticipate, how to run your own bartender event service, and plenty more. All our teachers owned their own businesses, so they spoke and trained you to standards that they know will work, because they practice them daily. I’m confidant, ready and thankful after taking part in Wines, Steins and Cocktails Professional Bartender & Mixology Programs.

I do believe that the instruction that I received has not only more than adequately prepared me to work confidently as a Professional Mixologist, but has prepared me to seamlessly move into a nightclub or food & beverage management position. Your instructors are phenomenal teachers. They’re very patient, knowledgeable – no question went unanswered and I know in conversation with all my classmates that it was appreciated. Yet, no matter how great your skills are, you got to be able to present them, to sell yourself effectively to get the job. This was obviously considered in advance when Wines, Steins and Cocktails developed their program. The theme and topics presented at each session addressed the how, why and where you were most likely to make use of all your skills, and how to present them in the most favorable manner to a wide variety of employers. WSC and the folks who represent them truly offered a unique and complete learning experience. Thanks for
all the confidence and the great on the job performance skills.
