  I took the course to become more knowledgable about the professional and the instructor *** and the course held up their end of the bargain. The way the material is presented in based on building a basic knowledge of different drinks and how to build on those drinks to make more sophisticated drinks worthy to be made at higher end establishments, ultimately resulting in a higher wage for the mixologist.I feel I responded very well to ***** teaching style. He made it fun while making sure that we understood the exercises laid out in the materials that were given. I had the opportunity to work with different individuals enrolled in the class and this also helped in the teaching process. I am extremely satisfied with the class. The tuition is very reasonable and can be made back over a few shifts at work. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone looking to have a mixologist in their back pocket, either to make extra money or to make a great career out of it.Thank you, ***!

  I took this bartending course hoping to pick up some skills that could help me land a part-time job, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions Ive made. Not only did I strengthen my knowledge of familiar recipes, but I also learned a wide range of new onesand had a great time doing it. *** made every class fun, engaging, and hands-on, and you could tell he genuinely cared about each students success. What really stood out to me was the personal attention he gave, adjusting the pace and content to meet our individual needs, and even offering an open invitation to come back anytime to practice or ask questions. I now feel confident and excited to start working behind the bar, and Id absolutely recommend this course to anyone curious about bartending, whether for a career or just for fun.

  Signed up for the Mixology Class and it was a great experience! The instructor is very knowledgeable & experienced in this field. I'll never regret taking the class and am very thankful the class is in the area as he allows students after graduating to attend any class for free in order to brush up and learn more. Much material was provided as well. I initially was worried if I'd be able to attend class due to i work full time but he was very accommodating and flexible with my schedule. The school also offers payment programs instead of paying upfront which i appreciated as well!

  WS&C was a wonderful choice for my husband and me! From day one, we were getting valuable hands-on experience pouring and mixing. There was ample opportunity to ask questions and request additional practice time, and the instructor, ***, was so personable and easy to talk to. The workbook that were were provided will be something we both refer to for quite some time -- it's absolutely jam-packed full of good information. It's also wonderful that *** has extended an open invitation to us to stop by any time to brush up on our skills if needed. This is more than just a class; it's an ongoing support network. If you have even a passing thought to try mixology, this is the place to go.

  I'm so glad I decided to do this class. I called *** two months ago and had a great conversation, and he offered to have me come and shadow a class before I committed to it. After that first class I immediately signed up. I learn best hands on and that's what this class does. While there is plenty that you have to learn and study in the book and resources that are provided, every class is a different experience and focuses on different drinks and methods. The classes are very flexible, I went about twice a week but if something came up *** was very accommodating. I know there is still a lot to learn but this class has made me confident that I can go and work behind a bar and be successful.

  Thank-you ****** for your kind and encouraging words. You were an excellent student and it is our sincere pleasure to count you as one of our successful graduates. As you had noted, and we wholeheartedly suggest, each person has an individual learning style that should be addressed to ensure that one profits from their learning experience. Yet, in every case, to be successful on the job and on the interview, undoubtedly there's no substitute for legitimate hands-on experience provided from professional instructors and owners of the types of establishments that one desires to obtain employment. And of course without exception: the only place achievement or success come before work is in the dictionary. You have certainly more than fulfilled these requirements by faithfully doing all your required study and hands-on work, and attend even more extra classes to assist you on becoming even more confident on the job and on the interview. With all of that in mind, and with the upbeat and positive attitude you exhibit, your instructors believe that you'll continue to profit by experience and work-ethic that you shared while learning the trade of professional mixology during the time spent training at Wines Steins and Cocktails. We wish you much continued success in ***************** and thank-you for selecting us to assist you on your journey to achieving your goal.

  Joining this class was an amazing opportunity I had. I just started bartending and did not have a ton of knowledge for being behind a bar and mixing cocktails. Taking this class here helped extremely improved my skills and knowledge and I am grateful for it. The program is amazing the instructors are inspiring people. There was never a dull moment. My schedule was not easily flexible, but they were very accommodating. The materials you receive is like no other, countless of information and tips, they surely do take their time and do whats best for those taking the classes. The hand on training and visual representation and constant practice you receive is so helpful. Being able to learn a new drink and be able to create it is a great learning experience. I never leave a session unsure of what we worked on. My question were always answered. Not only are you learning how to mix a variety of cocktails, but you are also learning how to be professional and prepared for opportunity you may have, being interviewed ready. I always felt confident and reassured with my new skills after every session . There was always helpful tips and information with all that we were learning. The class has prepared me for my future in this trade. I definitely recommend this class. I cannot express that enough. It truly was an amazing experience and if youre looking for a new trade, give Wines Steins and Cocktails a call!!

  Genuinely one of the most amazing classes I've ever had the pleasure of taking. The instructor was so knowledgeable and kind. Not a single second wasted. I can't speak for other bartending schools, but if you're looking for a class that will give you lots of hands-on experience this is the class for you. It's not even just mixing either. You'll be taken through how to present yourself and how to go about setting up and pouring at weddings and other events if that's what you desire to do. You'll also be given plenty of notes to study from so that when you graduate you will never have to worry about forgetting anything you've learned. Whether you want to do this as a profession, a side job through college like me, or if you just want to learn how to mix for yourself and your friends you owe it to yourself to call up Wines, Steins, and Cocktails and see what they have to offer.

  Attending Wines Steins and Cocktails was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. From the moment I walked through the doors, I knew I was in for something special.**Immersive Training The curriculum was a perfect blend of theory and hands-on practice. I dove into the world of spirits, liqueurs, and mixers, learning not just how to make cocktails, but also the science behind flavor profiles and the history of each drink. The classes were engaging, and I loved experimenting with different ingredients to create unique cocktails.**Professional Instruction Our instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the craft. They shared invaluable industry secrets and provided personalized feedback on my techniques. Their guidance helped me refine my skills, teaching me the importance of efficiency and maintaining a clean bar.**Practical Experience The hands-on training was exhilarating. I spent countless hours behind the bar, mastering classics like Margaritas and Manhattans, as well as more contemporary drinks. Each session pushed me to improve my speed and precision, and I thrived under the pressure of a busy bar environment.***Networking Opportunities One of the highlights was the chance to connect with industry professionals and fellow aspiring bartenders. I formed friendships that I know will last beyond the classroom, and I gained insights that could open doors for my future in this vibrant industry.**Industry Insights The program also offered a deep dive into the hospitality industry. I learned about customer service excellence, bar management, and the latest trends in mixology. This knowledge has been invaluable, giving me a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to succeed in bartending.

  Thank-you for such an upbeat, positive and optimistic overview of your learning experience and what you have achieved after taking part in the professional bartender and spirits program here at Wines, Steins and Cocktails. We wholeheartedly agree with your comments on the value of all the hands-on training that continues to be the flagship of a nationally awarding-winning program since its inception in 1987. Undoubtedly, there is no substitute for as totally an immersive approach to accelerating the uptake and retrieval of the practical knowledge, skills and tools that have now provided you with the actual confidence that you have identified to excel on the job and on the interview. You obviously arrived at your decision to adopt this course of instruction, because you recognized the potential of an excellent return on your investment in the way of multiple streams of income, flexible hours that compliment your living style that enables you to be selective on the the types of employment opportunities available while working on your own time and terms for a refreshing change. And of course, as a professional, certified bartender and spirits pro, you can relocate at a drop of a hat, with the added perk that makes the trade virtually recession-proof -- a profession that's always in demand, good times or less favorable -- immune to political or economic swings. You can be assured that your investment of time and effort will provide ongoing employment opportunities and earning potential for a lifetime in all sectors of the hospitality industry: upscale and top-shelf restaurants, nightclubs, country clubs, hotels, university clubs, resorts, river boats, yacht clubs, casinos, cruise ships, the list goes on. And of course, you've also been exposed to the entrepreneurial considerations as per your thoughts of managing your own festive pro bartender service; perhaps a pub of your own or mobile business application. In closing, you've been able to accomplish so much in such a little time via a patented system, a direct path to achieving your goal of becoming a professional bartender and spirits pro, not in years or going into debt for a lifetime, a recession-proof trade that you'll recoup your investment in working but a few shifts on the job. Thank-you again for your commentary and your optimistic view for your future. We are pleased to be of assistance in providing the incite and training to help you achieve your goals. We wish you much continued success on your journey.

  I decided to join this class to gain a little extra money while being a college student but still have a flexible schedule to fit my studies. I was nervous at first with trying to balance this course with college but I can assure you if you are also in school it is 100% manageable! My instructor was very understand and accommodating with scheduling. Now onto the class itself - the hands on practice and visual representations made learning things so much easier. If there was ever any confusion or just something I wanted to go over again my instructor was always open to elaborating on it. The repetitive practice of drinks makes me feel so much more confident going into a job. My instructor also went over how to fully prepare for an interview which is such an important skill to have that not even schools teach us nowadays. With having this class under my resume I just got a job at the country club I was wanting to work for! Overall a great experience and could not reccomend this class more!

  Thank-you for such a positive commentary on your experience while participating in the Professional Bartender Program. Yes, you're one-hundred percent correct as to how important as to the value of know-how, confidence and direction are for acquiring the type of employment that you desire upon completion of your learning experience. These goals, which you clearly recognize, are the bedrock of the entire 50-hour all hands-on professional mixology, bartending and spirits curriculum.. You, like so many of our graduates enjoy the opportunity to have achieved success even prior to the completion of your training, having already gotten a job and multiple job offers beforehand. As always, your instructors are confident of your new skills, gotten in but a few weeks of quality instruction and at a minimal investment that you have already recouped by working only a few shifts at an a top-shelf establishment that your were totally ready to assume and hit the ground running with purpose and enthusiasm. And although, your new trade and exemplary skills are highly mobile and can be taken anywhere, you now are afforded the wonderful opportunity to work on your own time and terms at a respectable position that has already provided you with a healthy stream of income. Definitely an ace up the sleeve, since professional bartending is not only flexible and recession-proof, and will certainly pay for a lot of your college expenses and also good times during your this important time in your life. And, as you had considered; perhaps spend your forthcoming summer working at the beach, rather than the typical summer-grind type of job that college students are forced to work for lack of a more stimulating and upbeat alternative as a professional bartender. And of course, you're destined to meet many new and interesting people, some of which are in the position to assist you further in developing your new career upon graduation from college. All in all, what a great win-win situation and a smart decision on your behalf to pursue the trade to become a certified professional bartender and spirits pro. Your instructors and our company, Wines Steins and Cocktails wish you much continued success and thank you for selecting us to share the expertise that has provided you with a vehicle to confidently and comfortably bring your goals and aspirations into reality. Best of luck and warm regards.
