Chicago Bartending & Mixology Course

Our instructors average over twenty years of teaching and work experience in the beverage industry and are certified by the State board of Education. Classes are structured much like on the job training and include frequent simulations of real life on the job bar training. While preparing for your new career, you'll enjoy a low pressure, fun-filled environment in which to refine your abilities.

Many of our students go on to work in some of the most respected bars in the country. A large part of their credibility can be attributed to alcohol awareness certification. This certification indicates the ability to serve alcohol responsibly, guaranteeing the safety of your customers... and your employer's liquor license. In many areas, this certificate is required by law. In fact, anyone being issued a liquor license must furnish proof that they have attended this class. We are licensed to issue this certificate by the Illinois Department of Alcohol and Substance Abuse.

Our 40, 48 and 60 hour professional mixology course consists of flexible schedules to fit any student situation. The school recognizes that adults have lives and commitments that may prevent them from attending one of our standard schedules. Regardless of your personal situation, if you want to attend our school and will make the effort to get here, we will work out a schedule for you. If you are in need of a special schedule, we will work one out for you during your personal interview with our enrollment director.
