Mixology Bartending School
Are you considering going to a Mixology Bartending School? Read this article and think about these common considerations to take before choosing a school.
Online or In-Person?
Once upon a time, if an aspiring student wanted to attend a Mixology Bartending School, they would have to actually go to the classes -- imagine that! Physically attending classes!
These days, thanks to the magic of technology, we can actually attending bartending classes online! If somebody would have told me this was going to be the case when I was younger, I would've laughed at them, but it's true!
The benefit of attending classes online is obvious -- you don't have to drive anywhere, meet anybody new, or even get dressed if you don't want to. But are there any benefits to attending Mixology School in-person?...Yes, there are.
Bartending is a very "hands-on" type of thing. It's not really like mathematics where you can be an excellent practitioner with only a pencil and paper. In order to be a good bartender, you have to actually make drinks. That means you should attend our bartending classes in person which offer lots of hands on training behind an actual bar.
The whole point of bartending classes is mainly to learn how to prepare drinks (you learn other stuff also, see everything you learn in bartending school here). You're not going to learn nearly as well online by just watching!
To get the best learning experience, you have to go to the physical class, meet the instructors, (get dressed!) and start pouring some drinks.
Choosing a Mixology Bartending School
Once you have made the obvious decision to go to school in person, the next thing you have to do is actually choose a school. Make sure the school:
1. Has been in business here in Maryland for over 30 years.
2. Is an Accredited member of the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating.
3. Is approved by the Maryland Higher Education Commission.
4. Is approved training facility by Professional Bartending Schools of America
5. Has a state-of-the-art classroom (REAL BAR) with hot & cold running water and the use of real ice (NOT PLASTIC) when making drinks.
