What exactly is The Academy of Professional Bartending School?We are a Westchester based, family owned bartending school, designed for bartenders by bartenders. A professional private school that is licensed by the NY State Education Department. We teach professional bartending as a full or part-time career. We also have other courses such as FLAIR Bartending and TIPS (Training for Intervention ProcedureS). Our staff has been training bartenders in the Tri-State area for years. Where can I verify that the Academy of Professional Bartending School is licensed by the New York State Education Department?You can contact the NY State Education Department at 212-643-4760 or www.highered.nysed.gov/bpss/. Why is your school cheaper than the others?Because we are committed to bringing you only the absolute finest in bartender training. Our dedication to our students are second to none! Our competition will tell you we are not licensed, we have only been opened for a few months, yada, yada, yada. Basically, they can not justify their overcharging students for years. So, instead, they choose to attack. We keep our overhead low, our standards high. Education DOES NOT have to be expensive. It just has to be good. And we offer you the most comprehensive bartending training throughout Westchester,New York, Connecticut and New Jersey areas. You will acquire the skills. knowledge, hands-on training, and job placement assistance you need to start and launch a successful bartending career. Think about how much it costs to run an office in the city? Are you really paying for a better education? Of course not, your paying for their rent, utilities and overhead. We offer the same and more for much less. Teaching and bartending are our passion! That's the difference between us and the other schools Do I really need to go to bartending school?As with any industry, strong job skills, as well as finely honed people skills, combined with in-depth training makes you a valuable asset to any company which unmistakably gives you the winning edge when it comes to your competition. Whenever an establishment employs a particular individual there are some key aspects : a wide range and diverse set of skills as well as the training this person has undergone. Obviously the more the better. Point blank, the more training you have the better chance of landing that position. The curriculum and type of training is what you should be looking for when choosing a school, and NOT because of the so called 'certification.' Certification provides independent endorsement of a particular level of expertise in any given arena you were trained in. The quality of training stands behind that certification. Look at the job listings. More and more establishments are requiring bartender training because they just don't have the time to train and tend customers. Upon graduating from the Academy of Professional Bartending, you will possess the necessary skill sets, in-depth knowledge, proficiency, speed and confidence to be able to work in any establishment that serves alcohol!
