QUESTION : What's the difference between the 'Event Bartender's Cocktail Course' and the 'Bartender/Mixology Course.'

ANSWER:Our unrivalled Bartending/Mixology course is a comprehensive course that covers EVERYTHING a bartender needs to know (see complete curriculum under 'classes') to work in any busy bar, lounge, restaurant, or club. The Event Bartenders Course covers everything a bartender needs to know to work events, parties and trade shows. Although the mixology side is somewhat similar, event bartending is generally more relaxed - the bartender is not pushing sales or up-selling; they don't have to worrying about register sales as drinks are generally free to the guests; however, the actual set-up and procedures of event bartending is different to working in a bar. The host/client of an event expects an event bartender to be able to take charge of the bar; from setting-up to closing. Event bartending is generally easier than working in a bar (you are basically your own boss) but certainly more guest/client service orientated.

The unrivalled Bartender/Mixology Course is 40 hours; the Event Bartending Course is only 16 hours - although still considered more comprehensive than most bartending/mixology courses that are offered at twice the price.
