Why Attend National Bartenders School?

At National Bartenders School you will learn AND become certified in Mixology, the ART of mixing drinks. You will also become fully familiar with the daily operations of typical bar and beverage areas found in full-service restaurants, bars, lounges, clubs and other hospitality establishments.

• National Bartenders School was established in 1984. We have been in continuous operation since that time, having placed many thousands of graduates in lucrative bartending positions throughout our 25 years of operation. We are licensed by the NY State Department of Education, and the CT State Department of Higher Education.
• We have standard weekday class schedules, both full-day and half-day (morning, afternoon, evening). We also run a Saturday class schedule. Furthermore, we support a variety of "flex" schedules, where students can essentially attend classes at their own (possibly irregular) pace.
• We run a comprehensive, quality job placement program, supporting graduates both locally and nationwide (through an extensive network of 40 affiliated schools). This is a crucial ongoing service for all grads. Our job is not complete when you've landed that first job. We are committed to supporting your developing needs in this great trade, whatever (and wherever) they may be.
• Besides ongoing placement support, any graduate may return to school, at any time, to refresh their skills or otherwise keep themselves up-to-date. This may be for a single lesson, or encompass taking the entire course again, from A-to-Z. Or, you might just want to come in for a few hours of practice at the bar. Whatever it may be, we are there for you going forward, at NO additional cost. That's our policy, that's what you've paid for and earned as an NBS grad.
• Our learning environment is hands-on throughout. That's the ONLY way to effectively learn bartending. The program which we run is structured so that individual students can be provided with lots of personal attention. Different people learn in different ways, and at different paces. We are always mindful of that. Our curriculum is structured and executed with this awareness, and our highly qualified instructors will work you, the individual student, to optimize the results you will achieve while in school.
• All instructors at our school are licensed to teach by the State Department of Education. They are all, first and foremost, experienced professional bartenders, each with many years of varied, real life experience working at bars, clubs and restaurants.
• Our total program is very affordable, only a fraction of the price that you'll pay at many other schools in our area. We also have flexible payment plans for you to choose from, as an assist in making your costs even more manageable. One thing is for sure - Most students who are serious about bartending find that they are able to achieve a phenomenal return on investment. This is the one-and-only type of occupational career to be had where your full educational investment may be recouped in just a few shifts on the job!
• When you receive your certificate from our school, it's not just a piece of paper that you'll walk out with. Most importantly, what you will have is a great set of skills and CONFIDENCE in yourself to apply those skills in real life to make money. Of course you will have our entire support network behind you going forward, but it's your competency in the trade that can make the biggest difference in the results you'll achieve. This is what NBS has always focused on. We're very proud of that, and we thank you for the opportunity to support your career training and professional bartending needs.
