Bartender course: Cheers!

Mixing drinks is one thing, mixing drinks and enchanting guests with them is something else. In a bartender course, you will learn how to prepare delicious drinks and also wow your guests with an exciting show. However, a bartender course is not only suitable for professional bartenders; anyone who wants to conjure up delicious cocktails in their private life can also benefit from such a course. You can find more information about bartender courses on the training platform www.ausbildung-weiterbildung.ch. This deals with a wide range of educational areas, whether it be courses at universities of applied sciences, job-specific further training or courses in a foreign language. The homepage offers a directory with many schools and their course offerings as well as numerous guides that delve deeper into a topic and shed light on training from all sides.

Questions and answers

The answer depends on how old you are. Because whether you are in an apprenticeship or not, serving alcohol is not permitted for anyone under the age of 18, and in a bar you will be doing just that. However, if you are over 18, you can take a bartending course during your apprenticeship, for example at weekends, on vacation or in the evenings.

Bartender courses or bartender courses are usually offered for different target groups:

  • For experienced bartenders who want to specialize further
  • For beginners who want to be fully trained
  • For companies, groups or private individuals who want to learn how to mix and shake in a relaxed way. If you are looking for a course for private use, a workshop like this will be just right for you.
No, for a traditional bartender course, whether it's a basic course, intensive course, workshop or private course, you don't need to have any previous knowledge of mixing or serving. A passionate interest and an open mind are all you need to plunge into the world of cocktails, long drinks and other mixed drinks.
A professional bartender is able to mix every known cocktail - without a recipe and without measuring cups. Creating new drinks, for example at the request of a guest, is also part of everyday life for a bar professional, but this requires training and knowledge of the most important ratios and upper quantity limits. In a comprehensive bartending course, you will usually also learn how to make your own creations, but rarely in a short workshop. Therefore, ask the bar schools or bartender schools to send you the relevant course materials and find out exactly what you will be taught during a bartender course.

A bartender not only taps beer and pours white wine spritzers, but can also be found in bars where he or she serves cocktails, mixed drinks and spirits. The bartender or barmaid, as the job title is often called, has a broad knowledge of preparation, serving and, of course, the individual spirits on offer and can provide guests with comprehensive information about them. Their experience enables them to find the right drink for each guest or to mix it according to their wishes. Since billing, communication with guests, inventory, cleaning and compliance with legal and hygiene regulations are also part of the tasks of bartenders, this profession should not be underestimated. Comprehensive training as a bartender is not compulsory to start out as one, but well-known or more upmarket bars in particular require solid training. This does not take three years like other training courses and is not federally regulated, but is offered by some private schools. It is best to speak to some bar managers or bar operators to find out what training and experience you expect from your bartenders and get comprehensive information.
Bartending courses are not federally recognized training courses, which means that they are not standardized and mandatory. The content, duration and focus can therefore vary greatly depending on the school. At a bar school, for example, you will find courses for interested private individuals that teach you how to mix properly or teach you about spirits, as well as more extensive courses that are suitable for (prospective) professionals. Such seminars can be traditional bartending training courses, for example, which form the basis for a career as a bartender. But also flairtending and show bartending, molecular mixology or barista courses. Bar management, training as a chef de bar (bar manager) or cruise style mixology can also be the subject of a bartending course. It is therefore best to find out about the courses on offer from the bar schools and choose the course that is actually useful to you, whether for private or professional purposes as a bartender.
