Bartending school refers to private education businesses that teach individuals the many intricacies of serving customers alcohol from behind a bar. This includes not only classes in such topics as drinks mixology: the intricacies of mixing drinks and drink presentation, and the alcohol laws of the city and state, or province, in which the school is situated.
In the United States, bartenders must pass a certification course for their particular state.[1] There are many bartending schools in every state. Some offer only a few hours of instruction, others offer up to 100 hours. Courses that are at least 12 hours in length are certified by a state's board of education or board of vocational or postsecondary education.[2]
In Canada, bartending schools can be found in each province. Many of those schools offer introductory one day courses in addition to two week long certification courses. No specific regulatory body offers bartending certification, but each province has an additional responsible serving program that all wait staff need to complete before serving alcohol.[3]
