Bartending and Mixology 101

Do you love making people happy, making friends, and being the life of the party? Do you mind having other people take you into their confidence and trust you with their best evenings? Do you enjoy the difference between how things taste on the palette and don't mind staying up late into the evening? Bartending is for you. This course will give you the knowledge to join the ranks of one of the world's most respected professions and one with never a dull moment. From the basics of what you need to start out to how to excel at the craft, this course will leave you in the know.

A typical bartending guidebook simply gives you a set of drink recipes, but we all know that each bartender has their own take on most drinks. We mix to our own preferences, or the preferences of our patrons. So what you really need to know is how things mix well together, how to keep your customers safe, and how to keep them tipping! That's the goal of this course--to give you what you really need to know, and prepare you for that all-star position!

This class is conveniently self-paced, so you don't have to reschedule work or personal events in order to make the grade. After seven lessons, you'll have gained the skills and insights needed to transform yourself into a brilliant bartender.

Enrollment is continuous, so there's no reason to put it off any longer. Act now and you can take the mystery out of mixology.

Bartending 101 is an informational course (which basically means that it doesn't offer any licenses or certifications) geared towards anyone interested in improving personal or professional bartending skills. Although the course is open to anybody who is interested in mastering the essentials of bartending, if you're considering it professionally, you'll need to be at least 21 years old.

 This course is a great choice for people who are self-motivating and able to stay on task without a whole lot of active participation from the class or teacher.

Bartending 101 is broken down into seven separate classes that center around five primary goals:

1. Familiarizing you with the rules and guidelines surrounding alcohol awareness in your state.
2. Teaching you how to set up your bar from where different bottles and brands go to which glass you should use.
3. Learning the differences between the drinks most especially the variations in alcoholic content.
4. Providing you with a wide variety of drink recipes more than enough to keep your customers and/or guests happy.
5. Arming you with a vast array of employment tips and tricks that you can use to gain a competitive edge in your local bartending arena.

It is an all-inclusive course, which means that all of the materials you'll need to  pass are included in the lessons, links and assignments provided. Whether you dream of owning your own bar or night club, putting yourself through college or simply wowing your guests with a cocktail party they'll (hopefully) remember, Bartending 101 is the way to ensure that you can make it happen.

Bartending skills always have been and always will be in demand. Before you know it, you'll have all that you need to start splashing out daiquiris, martinis, screwdrivers and Harvey Wallbangers to your heart's content!
