National Bartenders School takes pride in offering the finest, most complete bartending training program anywhere. Our Bartending Schools produce some of the most capable, fast, knowledgeable and efficient bartenders around, but we'll let some of our graduates and businesses that have hired our graduates tell you the rest of the story!

"The only thing I regret about attending National Bartending School is that it is already over. This class was the best thing I could have done for myself. I took a bartending course about four years ago and assumed this would be just a refresher class for me. Thinking I already knew it all, I am amazed at what I learned this time. Our instructor, John, has a style which combined with the quality in course outline makes learning a serious fun. I also appreciate the welcome open door policy to practice (if I ever need to brush up again sometime). Finally, the placement services here are the best I have seen anywhere.Having this kind of fun while making great money should be illegal! If I can be of assistance to anyone considering National Bartending School, feel free to contact me, kitana@best.com, or through the placement office. "

"...I graduated from the National Bartenders School in Mt View last week. This was a total career change for me and I approached the course with a certain degree of anxiety. Instructor Joe Giacomazzi, easygoing manner eased my fears from the first day. He assured me that I would do well and not to worry. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere he created in the classroom allowed me to learn at my own pace with no external pressures. Joe was always available to take questions. I never got the impression that anything I asked was silly or insignificant. I learned more about bartending from Joe than I did from the instruction manual! Although I went into the course feeling a little apprehension, I am now confident in my new skills and actually looking forward to finding a job as a full-fledged bartender."
