Bar & Cocktail
Get Trained, Get Hired
Bar & Cocktail training with a difference.
Our “Work Ready” classes were created by 3 of Auckland’s Bartending Legends to help future bartenders get the skills bar owners are looking for. They will teach you the latest industry level skills, recipes and tips, making you knowledgeable, confident and highly employable.
The right mix of training
The course is practical, fun and taught with passion by 3 of Auckland’s leading bartenders
( They are always on the look-out for new team members and event staff!!)
Unlike other Educational courses on the market, our course its built on real world activities and hands on testing and tasting, we feel this is paramount with the “practical nature” of the hospitality profession.
Course Objectives
- Prepare trainee bar staff with hands on experience, great product knowledge and employable skills
- Train to a high level in the shortest period of time possible so trainees can get a job fast
- Provide trainee bar staff with industry aligned and international accreditation
- Send trainee bar staff away confident, equipped and employable
Take your pick of the best jobs
The Barista Academy has a reputation as “the only place to train if your serious about getting a job” the graduates are always in high demand, often securing work before they even finish their training.
Our Industry Level Bartender training has been created with the exact same ethos… high quality hands-on industry level training so work will fall in your lap.
We want you want to be turning down jobs not begging bar owners to employ you.
