Got some fantastic mixing skills and two Professional Bartender positions with the help of Wines, Steins and Cocktails. I am pleased to prepare a wide variety of cocktails, signature and otherwise, both at an established country club and an entertainment center that hosts all kinds of events that feature world-class entertainment. I study the arts in college, so the personalities that I have the occasion of meeting while working as a bartender, has been a quite an experience. Bartending on this level has opened up a stream of other possibilities for me, because I’m socializing with successful people who are presently living my dreams. Thank-you for your help in assisting me.

Surpassed all my expectations. Provided me with info and know-how over and beyond. The course covered so much more than just mixing drinks, which we did for hours
each session. We also discussed and practiced the service of wine and craft-beer, how to create signature cocktails, classic & theme drink preparation, cruise and
casino work, running your own bartender service, how to interview, liquor control laws, inventory selection, and a lot more. I ‘m really pleased with everything,
just a total experience. Got hired by a classy Pittsburgh night-spot immediately upon graduation from the course.

Great experience and a lot of fun. I’ve been a Professional K-9 Dog Instructor for over 20 years. My husband and I took this course because of its reputation, and because I needed flexible hours and a solid way to make some good money to help supplement my income during my off-season training. As I had expected after talking with some of my friends who went through the program, we got right down to it — mixing all kinds of drinks so we can work at any type of establishment, especially those where you make good tips. No shot & beer stuff here. The interviewing and job prep we received was worth the price of the course in itself. We were both offered jobs with a large banquet hall and catering facility upon completion. Thank-you for a great time and tremendous learning experience.

The Professional Bartender and Hospitality-Training School that I recently attended at Wines, Steins and Cocktails provided me with an A+ learning experience. Presented by professionals who own their own businesses and stress a hands-on mixing approach to learning made everything a snap. Upon completion of the program, I was promoted to a Bar-Manager position at a fine-dining establishment in our community. I’m now responsible for all aspects of running the bar operation for the owners, including creating new drink menus for the regulars and specialized classic cocktails for special events of all kinds. I would also like to mention that that I appreciated the additional training I was given on how to run my own free-lance bartender service. This niche training specialty not typically taught at other institutions was a real bonus, so I jumped at the opportunity and wasn’t disappointed. Free-lance bartending pays very well, and it took only two events to pay for my entire cost for all my training. In all, this course and the TIPS Program was a great investment at a very fair price. Plus, because all the training was held locally, I didn’t have to expend additional cost and time traveling in and out of a city. Thank-you for enabling me and all my classmates with such an opportunity.

I have worked as a Travel Agent and fell in love with the idea of becoming a Professional Bartender after spending many hours talking with those who practice this trade aboard a number of the cruise lines. No doubt the work is both glamorous and lucrative. Upon my return from my last outing I decided to enroll in the Wines, Steins and Cocktails Professional Bartender School and Wine Academy. What a delightful all round experience. I received first class training in all aspects of Professional Mixology, including some Wine, Craft-Beer and Spirits Selection so I can run my own bartender service. Everything was taught hands-on in a beautiful facility. I was pleased with the personal touch, the extra assistance in developing my new skills. Ironically, the instructors have done a fair amount of training for the folks that work in the Cruise Industry, so it was a pleasant surprise indeed, to see and learn what I had observed on the ships and a lot more. The credentials that I added to my resume came at a very reasonable price and provided me even more credibility when booking functions. Great investment for anyone who wants to learn how to be a stellar Mixologist.

Enjoyed the program a lot. I was working in a factory when I began this class. I’ve always wanted to become a Professional Bartender, because I knew that the hours are flexible and that I could make good money for my time. I was pleased to be able to learn so much, so quickly. I had great instructors, patient and knowledgeable. Also, I received job-search and interviewing pointers throughout the course which proved to be helpful. I got a job as soon as I completed my training, and was then contacted by WSC for another position to work at an an exclusive nightclub thereafter. So things have worked out well for me. I feel good about having made the decision to attend your course and I’m excited about my future in the Hospitality Industry.
