ABC Bartending School teaches bartending skills to students in two-week classes. Day and evening classes are available and the school advertises free job placement assistance. There is a written exam at the end of the program.
ABC Bartending School is a private trade school teaching students how to become professional mixologist. Founder and CEO, Tony Sylvester, is celebrating his 33 year in business. The third generation bartender also owns other bartending schools nationwide. This Los Alamitos location sits in the shopping strip off Katella. Students can complete the 40 hour program in one, two or three weeks, depending on their schedule. The school also offers a free lifetime refresher course for its students and free lifetime job placement assistance.
Inside the front door of the Bartender's Training Institute sits what appears to be a fully functioning bar. But don't pull up a stool just yet - this bar is just for practice. This institute trains aspiring bartenders to become licensed professionals. Students sit on the "customer" side to study the basics of the bartending trade during classes, and eventually transition to the "pros-only" backside of the bar to try their hands at the job. It's a fun environment, but serious learning does occur. BTI offers free introductory classes, making it risk-free to determine if the school is a match for a given student's needs. Flexible class times accommodate most schedules. Check the website for a list of courses.
