Bartending SchoolIf you like working with people, are 21 years of age or older, enjoy working nights and have great people skills you might want to consider attending bartending school and becoming a professional bartender! Being a bartender does not require attending a college or a university to earn a four year degree. However, if you want to enhance your bartending skills, there are bartending schools across the country which offer certificate programs. Most programs last about 30 days. During that time, you will work with an experienced bartender learning the ropes. As you gain more knowledge and skills about running the bar, you will receive less supervision. When the teachers at the school feel you are ready to work on your own, you will get a certificate. Courses at a bartending school will teach you about mixing drinks, state and local liquor laws, state and local hospitality laws, how to maintain a bar and how to handle food and alcohol safely. If you plan on making bartending a long-term career, you might want to supplement your courses at a bar tending school with classes at a vocational or community college. You might find it helpful to learn about first aid, CPR, the hospitality industry and the culinary industry. If you plan on owning your own bar some day, you will want to look into taking business management and accounting classes. Additionally, given the varying types of clients who patronize bars and pubs, classes in communication, interpersonal skills and problem-solving may prove to be helpful. Once you are out of bartending school and working in the field, it is important to remain up-to-date on the federal, state, and local hospitality, liquor and employment laws. These laws often change when new officials are elected and have the potential to have a dramatic impact on your profession. It is well worth your time to educate yourself on the issues. You can do this by reading the paper, searching the internet and even calling some state agencies and requesting information. |
