Bartenders Academy LLC Reviews

Bartenders Academy in Waterbury CT is outstanding. They helped me find a new exciting career what could be better? The team has come up with a new curriculum that is streamlined in the sense that, it allows students to learn the most popular and classic drinks more easily. Thanks to the extended time frame which is about 7 weeks, compared to the old 4 week curriculum (not offered anymore). All members of the staff have something to offer in the knowledge department, they are attentive and experienced in bar tending. Personally not knowing anything about bar tending and then learning about the craft, inspired me to find a job and push myself. You can tell the staff here is passionate and dedicated to the advancement of the bar tending craft. If you have the drive and determination, then this course is for you. As far as the job placement goes, don't expect to have your hand held like anything in life. you have to show you're interested, serious, and dedicated. The leads are reliable and if you continue to hunt you will find a job, in a new exciting craft that is only growing everyday.

One of the best decisions I have made was going to the Bartender's Academy. Peter, Lanie and Chris are all fantastic and make the course super fun. Tuition is a fair price, and they offer job placement assistance which make finding a job easy after graduation.

The Bartenders Academy is nothing shy of love and professionalism combined. From clear communication upon a warm greeting from Sydney to patience and guidance from Peter all throughout my academic journey along side enthusiastic support and direction from Laney and Kristine - I m thoroughly pleased with my experience!

Noteworthy:
- Prior to attending BA, I had never been behind a bar
- What began as a 6 week course was concluded 6 months later thanks to personal reasons, a process which was greeted with patience and understanding
- The very day I received my certificate for passing practical I also received my first job offer
- Fast forward to today (one month after graduating) and I now have my second job
- Learn. Earn. Succeed. Indeed!

This is the best place to learn the ropes of bartending. Everyone there is nice, and they are great at their jobs. It was great to learn from them and they helped me a lot!

Thank you to Peter & Lanie at Bartenders Academy for giving me a great learning experience!

If you interested in getting into bartending, definitely check out this school.

Tuition costs were at a fair price for online and in-person classes.

If you re not from the Connecticut area, even their online program is worthwhile.

Fun, supportive, and will help you get leads on bartending jobs once you graduate!

Having worked in the restaurant and bar scene in a various number of positions before going to Bartender's Academy I figured that they would maybe teach me a few new things and it d be nice to say that I went to bartending school. But towards the middle of my first class I saw that I had a lot to learn and this was the perfect place to do it. All of the teachers/staff are fantastic in teaching the students in a way that makes it easy to learn, and they make each minute of the 40 hours count toward making you the best and most prepared bartender you can possibly be. Then once your time there is complete it s not over, they work with you for whatever you need, finding job leads, working private parties, helping you practice interviews, the list goes on. It was an incredible experience that was worth every penny. I d recommend it to anyone who was serious about finding a fun, well-paying job and working with great teachers.

If you're looking for a good bartending school. I highly recommend you come here! Great teachers and a good way to come out of your comfort zone.

An incredible course experience that goes above and beyond to teach you more than just recipes (though there's definitely a lot of those too). It familiarizes you with the different tools you might encounter behind the bar, teaches proper technique and form, and prepares you for the social aspect of the job as well. I can't recommend Bartenders Academy enough!

Bartenders Academy Is well worth the money & the time. Besides learning an extensive amount of recipes, they also teach you about all the bar tools, bartender etiquette, glass selection and much more. The instructor Jeanie, was an exceptional teacher!

With out a doubt Bartender Academy is an excellent place to start your bartender journey. Lanie is a great instructor with a lot of knowledge in the field. You can ask her any question and she will have an answer for you. Peter is a great individual! He does everything in his power to find you a job as bartender. I had a great experience and I highly recommend Bartender Academy if you want to get in this kind of work.
