Can I get a bartending certificate online? (back to top)
Can you learn how to drive a car online? Sure, but would you be able to then get into a car and know how to drive? Bartending is the same way. You MUST practice, practice, practice with the proper equipment and tools. You NEED face-to-face instruction in the proper environment to learn how it feels to be behind the bar.

How much can a bartender make? (back to top)
There is a wide range of salaries in the bartending field. You may get an hourly rate or it can be a standard “shift pay”.

We do not provide credit for past experience or course credits.

If I am already TABC Certified, do I have to take the TABC class? (back to top)

You will receive an official Certificate of Completion in Bartending to show your prospective employers.
