I feel the Professional Bartender Program was very worthwhile. With all the knowledge and practice that I received, I’m confident about pursuing this trade as an entirely new career, rather than just a part-time job. My instructors were topflight. Not only where they patient and gave of their knowledge freely, they are actual business owners who taught everything in the manner that you’ll use it on the job. They even offered additional assistance before and after regularly scheduled time if you wanted to practice more or had any questions. All in all, it was a great experience and I wouldn’t change anything. There are plenty of job opportunities within striking distance, especially in Bedford at the casinos and resort hotel complex. Much Thanks WSC.

Extremely informative class packed with lots of valuable info on all aspects of Professional Bartending and Hospitality Management. All the instructors prepared us well for bartender positions working in any type of establishment. I was really impressed with how much fun learning can be when you’re taught by folks who are passionate about what they do for a living. It was important that I had the opportunity to do as much practice as possible, because that’s how I learn best. When I called to inquiry about the course, I was assured that I would get a real wok-out at each session. Well, that was an understatement. I want to thank WSC and its instructors for all the hours we spent each session preparing cocktails of sorts and designs. I’m totally pleased with how quickly I was able to absorb the material. My confidence level is high, so I feel the investment in my training was well worth it. Plan to relocate and/or back go to school. Professional Bartending will provide with the funds and the time to do so.

Got a great job at Tofttrees Resort & Country Club immediately upon returning to Penn State. Your training and reputation certainly made the difference for me getting the job as I was hired upon completion of my interview. I’m a pre-med student, so the money sure comes in handy. We have two bars, the Eagle (more casual), and the LePappillion that caters to the upscale crowd. We also have a
large banquet center that caters to all kinds of functions, from weddings, anniversaries, college and political events. What I learned and practiced in your program prepared me more than adequately for what’s turned out to be a wonderful experience. Thank-you for the outstanding program.

After much consideration I elected to go back to college to become a teacher. The training WSC provided opened up a lot of possibilities for me. With your assistance, I’ve snagged several great paying part-time positions that work extremely well with my busy school schedule. The money is great. Some nights I make more on one shift than I did working at Wal-Mart for 4 nights on the job.
Also, I get a good which saves on food cost. Overall the jobs are fun. I’m getting to enjoy my night-life and still get my education without going broke. Now entering my last year in college, I have virtually debt-free to after graduation. I might add that the country club work provided me with an opportunity to network a position after graduation. I have also managed to run my own bartender service on the side and am making roughly $200 – $300 per outing. Thank-you for all your help and guidance.

I just graduated from college and will be pursuing graduate school. The Professional Bartender program was a wonderful learning experience and will provide the funds that I’ll need to eventually relocate and pay for my living expenses. The reputation of your company and its fine instructors helped me land a job at the Sheraton (North Pittsburgh) in the interim. Thank-you for the opportunity.

My program was top-notch in every respect. Outstanding teachers that were well informed and had a great sense of humor. Especially enjoyed the mixing aspect of the course. It’s the only way to learn to become a Professional Bartender. Spent about 40 hours worth of hands-on practice polishing my skills. The instructors were patient with me and everyone in class. Even provided extra time for more
practice and questions before and after each session. The other thing I especially enjoyed was the practice we did in the job search and interviewing workshop. These exercises were like the real thing and were well done. I believe what I learned in these classes will definitely give me an advantage. I’ve already been out and around, and I can feel my confidence growing with each visit to the finest in dining and night spots.
