Top 10 Questions asked about Bartending School
- How Much does it cost?
You can learn to bartend online for under $150. You can pay a bartending school $300. But what do you get for your money?
First of all, if you are searching for a state license certification, the State requires the course to be 40 hours long, otherwise the class you are doing online or a 20-hour, 1-week class will not be able to legally certify you as a licensed bartender.

Elite Bartending School charges $650 for the two-week program, but when you graduate you will be one of the most knowledgeable and efficient bartenders in your bar.
