The Program
Professional Mixology Training
Our Mixology program is designed to provide comprehensive training in all areas of professional bartending. Students learn to mix popular and classic drinks and gain working knowledge of bartending duties, alcohol awareness, and customer service — all hands-on behind a real bar.
Graduates learn to prepare 125 traditional drinks plus the latest trending cocktails. In addition, students earn beer, wine, and responsible alcohol service certifications. The school uses the Anheuser-Busch "Beertender" training program and the Guinness Beer "Perfect Pour" program.
Vancouver is home to one of the most celebrated cocktail scenes in North America. From the award-winning craft bars of Gastown to the high-energy Granville Street nightclubs, the rooftop lounges of Yaletown, and the film wrap parties in "Hollywood North," the demand for skilled bartenders here is constant.
