<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Is Going To Bartending School Worth Your While?</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Craig Seymour</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'>Bartending schools have always had mixed opinions from industry professionals. Many say bartending school is not really worth it, and that applicants should just save their money. Then there are individuals who have went to bartending school that defend themselves stating, most people who criticize bartending schools haven't even attended a class themselves. Everybody always has an opinion about something, justified or not. So what's the deal? Is bartending school truly worth it?<br />
<br />
To start, lets get straight into what these facilities provide: Hands on experience (which is great for those with no experience in the industry at all) usually taught by experienced tenders, simulated bars (which in some places can get really intricate), and job placement. Class schedules are flexible and well paced and can be found most major cities.<br />
<br />
Often difficult to replicate, schools try to offer students the actual 'feel' of what a bartender may go through in the real world. Schools use colored water as 'play alcohol' that hardly get the job done. After all, in the real world, you will be using thicker, more viscous, liqueurs such as kahluas. Some bartenders who've investigated these classes have even said that cocktail recipes are outdated, and are not even close to what they are in the real world.<br />
<br />
Mentioned previously in an earlier post, if job placement is provided at a potential school you would like to sign up for, inquire more information on it. Sometimes job offers are simply just leads, that happen to be made available to all students. Some school may perhaps be affiliated with local bars, that are willing to offer positions to students based on the schools reputation. Nevertheless it all lies in the hands of the employer at the end of the day.<br />
<br />
Classes are meant to be casual and informative. It is an opportunity for newcomers to have their questions answered, and meet new people. Many take advantage of the chance to speak with industry professionals and start their networks here, which is very important.<br />
<br />
Bartending basics and mixology will be the most important things you will learn from these courses. Fundamentals never change, and learning these basics will ensure you get a good head start into the industry. Not knowing how to mix a drink in the real world will annoy your clients and coworkers, and waste your valuable time.<br />
<br />
Always use caution when applying for a program. Take a trip to the school and find out if you can sit in a class and speak with those already taking the course. Interview some of the instructors. Quite often, this is often enough for applicants to come up with a final decision. This will likely save you lots of time and money. You cannot assume all bartending schools are created equal, so do your homework.<br />
