"When thinking back on my experience with National Bartender School, Tony, the classroom instructor comes to mind immediately. He treated me very well, and had a great class room presence. He established this rhythm that made the class fun and time passed by quickly. Another person who comes to mind was Carson, the school director. When I sat down to talk to him about enrolling, he answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable.
The training was based off of both a syllabus and off of the instructor’s real world knowledge. I like this mix of academics. We were also given plenty of time to work with the bottles and glassware both during class sessions and in between sessions when the wells were free to use.
I was fortunate enough to have friends who brought me to bartend at TGI Friday’s in Buena Park CA, right out of
Bartending School. I have been on the job placement program’s job lead email list that comes out twice a week for the last year, as I am always looking for new opportunities to bartend. The Job Placement staff is very good at communicating and working with graduates as long as the graduate communicates and works with the placement staff. They are an excellent resource that the school provides, and they provide their services for life after graduating from the school. I don’t regret the decision to go with National."
