The benefits of bartending school
What are the benefits of going to Bartending school? A good one like Elite bartending school, will give students a fantastic knowledge of mixology and drink recipes, provide training in speed efficiency, POS systems, cash handling, and assist in job placement upon graduation. As you’re researching bartending schools in Orlando, make sure to ask what other skills you’ll learn in addition to just mixing drinks.

We spoke to a bartender in Orlando who took classes online before attending Elite Bartending School, Orlando. He said, “Don’t do the class online!! You need to attend a bartending school. I learn hands on and wanted to build my confidence behind a bar. I did it to make money while I was in grad school. I make more money than I’ve ever seen before.” Elite Bartending school helps those with busy schedules learn the skills they need to become a bartender when they may not have the experience to fall back on, Elite Bartending School Orlando offers AM and PM classes that you can alternate between.”
We also spoke to a student in our Miami location which said “I attended another School before Elite and the education was night and day. The first bartending school I attended taught me in a fake bar and I spent most of my time listening to the instructor. Elite Bartending School offered me a hands-on experience and I learnt in a real bar, now I bartend in Miami Beach and have worked many events for Elite Bartending School, the class gave me the confidence to go to interviews and interview with the knowledge that most bartenders don’t have.”
The limitations of bartending school
Unfortunately, not every bartending school provides the right environment for becoming a masterful bartender. Many classes teach in classrooms and you don’t get to make real drinks throughout the course. While this is fine for pouring and memorizing counts and recipes, it doesn’t adequately prepare anyone to work with real garnishes, flames, or twists. It also doesn’t teach a beginning bartender how a drink should actually taste once it’s made, robbing them of a vital skill that ensures consistent quality in a real bar.
But at Elite Bartending School, Orlando you make lots of real drinks, teaching you how a cocktail should taste, how a cocktail should be balanced and above all Elite teaches you how to construct your own drinks as mixology can only be learnt using real alcohol.
Once in the real world, many bar managers look for a mixology certificate, but also want you to have some experience. At Elite Bartending School, Orlando, Miami Beach, Ft Lauderdale, Ft Myers and the Florida Keys locations you are truly offered the opportunity to gain the experience needed after graduation.
