    When I first came to this class, I did not know much about mixology and mixed drinks in general. Upon completing this course, I feel confident in the knowledge I now have and am ready to start applying for jobs in the field. The class is incredibly hands on and is a mix of beginners and intermediate learners. This allowed me to connect with people that had the same amount of knowledge as me as well as people who were well versed in what I did not know. I was also very impressed by how comfortable I felt asking questions and making sure that I got everything right and was confident in what I was doing before moving on. Since the classes are also not scheduled, I felt no pressure to rush myself, and I appreciated that the classes were adjusted to meet the schedule needs of students. Dan, the instructor, is extremely knowledgable of the field and was able to thoroughly answer any questions that came up. I am very thankful that I took this class and highly recommend it to anyone that wants to learn about mixology.

    Hands on program with tons of opportunity to mix drinks and build classic skills. I had very little knowledge of bartending and feel I now have the confidence to apply for a job. I enjoyed class very much and the instructor is incredibly knowledgeable in his field. I would recommend this program to friends and family. Cheers! ??

    I'm a current student at WSC with a few weeks under my belt. I had no prior experience in the service industry and basically started from zero on my knowledge of bartending. I'm very pleased with the program and how hands on and informative each class can be. My instructor Dan gives great instruction and very knowledgeable of the many types of drinks we go over in class. It is a comfortable environment for learning and made my experience very enjoyable. I look forward to finishing the class and seeing where this new skill can take me. Very much recommend!

    I just recently began working in the service industry, and for having minimal experience, I'm very appreciative to have found this class. It was a great introduction to the basics of bartending, covering the types of liquors and beers, classic drinks, and proper pouring and presentation techniques. My instructor Dan was very knowledgeable and elaborated on the detailed information booklets we received. I'm very grateful to have taken this class and feel confident in my abilities to bartend after having taken it.

    Best program to learn from. Class is taught with professionalism in mind. Growing up in the industry I had some knowledge of how things worked. However I had been away from it for some time. Was a great refresher for me and the amount of knowledge I gained that I never knew was exceptional. If you are looking for a mixology program that will teach you beyond the basics and give the confidence needed to begin a new job, I would HIGHLY recommend this program.

With much gratitude, we thank you for selecting our company, Wines, Steins and Cocktails Ltd to provide you with such a quality learning experience.
