Compare Bartending Schools

Choosing the right online bartending school is an important decision that can jumpstart your new career

There are many options for bartender training, but vast differences in content, quality and customer service. Some turn out to be e-books and downloads rather than interactive courses. Others market training with no support to help you down the road when you need it.

Tips / Advice

How to choose a bartending school

• Make sure the school has a street address you can verify. Legitimate schools will list their address on their website. Here's our location: 101 N. Egan Ave. Madison, SD 57042
  
• Check the school's credentials to assure it is state-licensed, bonded or registered to lawfully provide training.
  
• Beware of very low-cost or highly-discounted online bartender courses that claim to offer accredited training and certification. These companies often:
  
  • are located outside of the U.S.
  • are accredited by unknown organizations
  • have never owned or operated a bartender school
• Make sure the school has a contact number. Legitimate schools will list their phone number on their website. Talk to our experienced staff at (605) 427 2912.
  
• Make sure the school provides the same support for online bartender training that they do for classroom training. We have trained online since 1998!
• Search the Better Business Bureau online for complaint history and length of time in business. An established school will have a BBB rating. Our A+ Rating can be found by clicking the BBB logo on our homepage.

We have owned and operated bartending schools in Atlanta, Minneapolis, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, St. Louis, and Tucson areas beginning in 1987. In fact, many bartending schools use the materials that we developed years ago. In 1998 we became the first and only online bartending school in existence, and have trained tens of thousands of bartenders online since then. We have a dedicated professional staff who are there to provide in-person support online and by phone 6 days a week.

Professional Bartending School Accreditation

Our bartender certification program is state-approved, nationally recognized, and we are an accredited member of the Better Business Burea with an A+ Rating. To meet state requirements, online training must be structured and interactive. Interaction requires the student to answer questions, perform hands-on activities, and receive feedback from the course -- much more than reading a textbook or watching a video. As you take our course, you will interact with the lessons and know that you are learning.
