I can't believe how much I learned from one DVD. This video packs in the information (although it does move a bit fast at times). Far superior to the last bartending video I watched. Even if I never start bartending, at least I won't ask anymore dumb questions at the bar. GREAT VIDEO.

Start of a Bartending Career
Fifteen years ago, the athletic club I belonged to opened a beer and wine bar and I was offered a job as bartender. Little did I know that first shift would change my life. Overnight, I went from retail sales of office products making a minimal wage to pulling in $200 cash in a six-hour shift. I even remember standing outside the bar that night thinking, “How did I miss this for so long?”
I knew I wanted to serve liquor and enrolled in a two-week bartending school (more about that later). With-in six months, I was bartending at a busy hotel in downtown Atlanta, making great money with full-benefits. I even had travel benefits to stay for free in hotels around the world and a flexible schedule so I could enjoy it.
Since then, I’ve worked everything from sporting events, live music shows, theater events, weddings and private parties. I’ve worked in fine dining restaurants and high volume nightclubs and my guests have ranged from Bjorn Borg to Garth Brooks. I’ve had a chance to travel extensively, complete my college education, meet great people and have a lot of fun.
In this video, I'll share with you the lessons I've learned over the years. Whether you're just interested in the world of bartending or about to take your first step to a new career, I believe you will find this the most complete and accurate bartending video available.

What About Bartending School?
The 90-minute bartending school is a complete bartending course. It is a full ninty minutes of visual demonstrations that you can watch over and over in the comfort of your home.
Be careful of bartending schools that offer a certification. Regardless of what they want you to believe NO CERTIFICATION is needed or desired as a bartender. Presenting a certification to a potential employee only demonstrates how green you are. Want proof? Go talk to five of your favorite bartenders about bartending school and certifications. They will tell you the same thing. Bartending is learned by practice.
Many states, however, do require an alcohol awareness class. This is entirely different from a class teaching bartending skills and drink recipes. If your state requires this class, your employer will generally send you AFTER you get a job. Again, this is NOT a certification and is NOT available through bartending school. NO CERTIFICATION IS REQUIRED to begin bartending.
Bartending School is the right choice for some people. If you have the extra money and need someone to motivate you to practice, attend a bartending school (stay away from the online bartending schools unless you have the extra money to blow).
If you want to save a few hundred dollars and gain a more well-rounded education, then the 90-minute bartending school is the clear choice. The video includes all the visual demonstrations, practice techniques, and factual information you will get in a bartending school, plus tricks, techniques and memorization tips that can only be learned by the combined 50+ years of experience behind this video. And, its yours to keep and continue to learn from.
The 90-minute Bartending School is the most accurate and complete bartending video available.
