Bartender Training to Increase Your Self Confidence

Are you thinking about joining a bartender training programme? Many people love working behind a bar, but their employer doesn’t have time to help them advance their skills or provide one to one support. This leaves many lacking confidence when it comes to anything from the sequence of service to feeling at ease with the pressures of customer demands. Luckily, our mixology course aims to address this, offering the type of support you won’t get in a busy bar…

Staying In Control

If you think about it, staying organised in our lives is something we do daily. It’s about knowing where you need to be, what you’re meant to be doing and expertly dealing with the hiccups and curveballs thrown at you throughout the day. If you want to manage the pressures of working behind a bar, then knowledge, experience and skill are all going to help you feel in control. Whether you want to up your game or you’ve never experienced life behind a bar, our bar professional training course will give you a solid base in everything from bar fundamentals to building up confidence.

Learning the Sequence of Service

If you join our international mixology course London, we cover the sequence of service, helping you to learn more about how to serve more than one customer at a time without sacrificing the quality of cocktails and drinks you prepare. This bartending training held at our prestigious London bar school takes place in a working bar, so you’re going to get a good feel of the speed and patter of bar life. We’ll also cover many of the fundamentals you need to know, including how to operate the different sections of the bar, what each role entails and how to run a perfect shift. We even look at opening and closing procedures.

Up Your Mixology Skills

If you sign up for our international mixology classes London, you’ll get to develop your skills too, learning and practising mixing techniques, such as muddling, layering, churning and stirring. You’ll throw, shake and roll cocktails to combine and blend fresh ingredients that take your cocktails to the next level of greatness. We’ll also look at the different pouring techniques involved and how to handle several bottles. These are the types of skills you won’t get at many bartending schools London.

After bartending course completion, you can even move onto our advanced bartender course London programme, taking place in a lab-based environment. We look at advanced product knowledge, how to test and compare spirit brands, modern mixology techniques (e.g. smoking of drinks) and spectacular presentations and garnishes to try.

Get 1-2-1 Support Throughout

One of the biggest concerns when you join a bartending school, is that you won’t get the support you need. We keep our professional mixology courses London classes small to give you the personal attention you require from our skilled mentors. This means you’ll get plenty of one to one time with our bartender school London mixologists.

This mixology course is very well structured and sheds a lot of light on the techniques that go into making cocktails at a professional bar environment. It is the perfect combination of seriousness and fun at the same time! I learned a lot and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to join this field of work or even open their own bar!Manny is a great teacher, always giving that extra bit of effort and taking time to answer questions thoroughly. He’s also fun spirited and had amazing energy!

Best mixology/bartending course you can possibly take in 5 days. Manny is passionate and treats the craft like an artform. If you apply yourself, you will learn lots. Highly recommend to any aspiring bartenders!

I chose the 1 week intense course and I must say Manny was such a great instructor. He was very patient and tailors the course according to each persons requirement. He was super friendly and helpful with each of our queries. I would highly definitely recommend this course with Manny.

If you are someone like me who has a passion for making cocktails, I highly recommend taking this course....Outside of my degree as a university student, I took time this spring to explore and develop my new profound love for mixology.Today, I was awarded the International Mixology diploma from the Spirit Lab London Bartending Academy, approved by the Wine & Spirit Education Trust recognized in more than 70 countries worldwide.Despite my background, I extend my utmost gratitude to director Emanuele Mancini for accommodating me by being a demanding but fair mixology teacher challenging my skills both on and off the bar.Receiving this acknowledgment, meant more than the completion of a 5-day intensive spirit training course at the heart of the Marylebone district in London; it was a milestone in my ability to remain calm under pressure and build the confidence to face things outside of my comfort zone.If you are someone like me who is unsure due to inexperience, I can tell you that my 5-day journey to cocktail-making started in a foreign place to a young professional who can confidently push out multiple spirits at a high level.

I am so glad I chose the Spirit Lab to fulfil a dream of perfecting my skills, understanding and learning more about the art and history of cocktail making with Emanuele Mancini. It was a 5 day intensive course with a small group.Emanuele is clearly passionate about the industry and this really shows as he picks up on every detail and perfects you along the way. He is truly an inspiration and a leader in this industry. I loved his style of teaching and this made me more determined to succeed. I highly recommend the Spirit Lab as I am now more confident in making cocktails and will continue to ensure I take every opportunity to put my new skills to the test.Thank you Emanuele
