With bartending you can’t lie.  You look at someone, and you can tell.  Are they fast?  Do they have confidence?  do they have a personality?  Do they know what they’re doing?  And is that the guy you wanna see?  Is that the bar you go back to?  Or does it just blend?  Is it just another pretty face, a nice menu?  Or…is there something that makes you stop and say wow!  This is my bar, this is my bartender!  That’s what it’s about, it’s about getting that reaction.The VIP Concept is very simple.  Imagine you’re outside of a club, and you see people in line, it’s popular so a lot of people are waiting to get in.  And some people, they don’t wait in line, they go right in, and they have a special area just for them.  And we’ve all seen that.  That’s being a VIP.  We wanted our graduates to feel like that, to feel so accomplished and professional that they can make their own rules, and work when they want to work.

To do that we designed the program to be 73 Hours of Intense Hands on Training.  And we really researched over the last 20 years: what does a great Mixologist need to know today, regardless of how much they want to work, or what kind of place they want to work in, the quality of what they know needs to be the same.

And we talked to experts in Beer, in Wine, in the art of Flair bartending, in Safety, and in Mixology to design this program.  And over the course of the 73 hours, you’re really going to challenge yourself, and push yourself to learn things that maybe you didn’t think you could.  Maybe you didn’t think you’d be smart enough to really understand wine, maybe you didn’t really see yourself breathing fire or flipping bottles you might think you’re not coordinated, maybe being in front of-and making drinks for-a lot of attractive people is terrifying for you-maybe you were always shy before, but when you learn this kind of training, you’re going to face the fear, and the challenge, but we stay with they whole way, and we know you can get it.

We’ve done this for tens of thousands of students, and we’ll do it for you.
