It was fast paced and challenging while working full time and taking the night course. Make sure you can make time to study, you need TIME! Really a robust course filled with info, it was more challenging than I expected but Joel, our instructor was fantastic. You can get behind the bar to practice outside of class hours, and I needed plenty of practice. Highly recommend if youre interested. I made the right choice in schools! #beelite

I have been working in restaurants for a while but never had the confidence or knowledge to get behind the bar. After debating whether or not to do bartending school I finally took the chance and couldn't be happier. The class gives you that confidence and knowledge to work in any bar and with the opportunities to work events it's the best decision I made wanting to be a bartender. Class is fun and the instructors are awesome! Johnnie is super helpful. 10/10 will be recommending.

I want to say a big thank you to Elite Bartending School and Amy who was our teacher in particular. I had so much fun learning that I do feel sad that the training lasts only for two weeks and it's already over. I loved everything about this school - that it's located in an actual bar, schools program, real drinks we got to make, easy parking, people I met, Amy who was teaching us and who has an amazing, positive, fun, outgoing personality and who is full of knowledge of what she is teaching. And they DO assist with job searching like they say in their website. I've already worked, payed off what I spent for the school and even more :) I most certainly recommend Elite Bartending School for everyone who is looking for a proper bartending school. I am more than happy with what I payed for and telling everyone to not hesitate in choosing this school!

After calling Elite Bartending school and having one conversation with my instructor johnny I quickly took his advice and booked right away. Classes started a few days later and I must say it was absolutely amazing. His teaching skills were very straight forward. He taught me exactly what I needed to know and took the time to break things down when it came to measurements. This is an accomplishment that I must say came with A LOT of practice. The class is very easy but you must dedicate yourself. Jhonny’s driven to helping you towards success but you must practice. I recommend this class to anyone who’s really interested in becoming a bartender. Don’t think twice just go for it I guarantee you won’t regret it. Thanks Johnny.👍🏽

I honestly learned so much just in two weeks. I feel like it’s definitely worth the money and they take extremely good care of their students and really want them to succeed. I feel a lot more confident in my skills and I hope to continue working with them. Here are some drinks they taught me to make and it’s crazy because just a few days ago I would’ve never even thought I’d be able to make them. Great school!

Really great school! The environment, the teacher , the people and the place are just perfect !!👌🏻 I’m so glad that I decided to come to this school and learn something new. If you are looking for a bartender school , this the best option for sure and you will love it!

An amazing school and amazing teacher. Dexter is really nice, cool, teacher and person. This school gave me the opportunity to practice and study during class time and out of class. Highly recommend if you’re trying to become a bartender.

I brought my staff for an overview training. Dexter was the BEST! We learned while laughing the whole time! He’s great for high volume advice! It was a great day! Nauti Dawg

Love Elite Bartending at the Fort Lauderdale campus! Learned so much and had a ton of fun. Dexter my instructor was so helpful guiding me thru the course 10/10!!

Elite has to be the best school for bartending and mixology, it’s so easy to learn and study. Dexter makes sure to explain and show what to do and as well makes sure you know what you’re doing. Best experience! Highly recommend!

The classes were really nice and engaging. You can tell Dexter (the instructor) has plenty of experience and knows what he is doing. I really enjoyed my time here. 10/10 would recommend ✨

Great experience at the elite bartending school! Dexter, our instructor, made it fun and interesting! He wanted the best for his students and wanted us all to succeed. It was well worth the money. With no previous experience, I now feel so much more confident around the bar and ready to go out into the bartending world.

I can honestly say my experience with Elite Bartending was one of the best I’ve ever had. Dexter is both an amazing and knowledgeable instructor and really tries his hardest to make the classroom environment exciting and lively. I’ve learned things over the course of this class that I never thought I’d be capable of, and can honestly say it is fully due to Dexter’s ability to teach tactics, recipes, and methods that are essential to being an “Elite bartender.” If you are contemplating signing up for this program or have any hesitations whatsoever, I 100% urge you to do away with them and sign up immediately. This experience is more than worth your money and I do l not say that lightly. Thank you Elite Bartending!!

After browsing different bartending schools, a close friend of mine recommended I try Elite Bartending since he had a good experience with them. He was right! Registration was easy and Dexter reached out right away to get me started. They supply all the materials and make the high volume material easy to digest in the short time frame. Dexter is an excellent instructor with a lot of enthusiasm and passion that’s infectious! This course was a lot of fun and it makes me excited to get started on my new career! I highly recommend this school if you have little to no bartending experience, all you need to bring with you is a personality ;)

I had the best experience and learned so much. Our instructor Dexter was the best. I definitely feel confident and capable I’m my new found abilities as an elite bartender.

Great school! Learned everything one needs to know Elite style! Dexter is the best instructor out there and you will not be disappointed. He makes the class interactive and fun all at the same time! Learned a lot! And will miss it! :)

Dexter is such a great instructor, from day one he makes sure you are going to understand everything that will be taught & what will be on the final. You will learn everything from the basics, to the drink recipes, and being full hands on with the drinks and speed tests. Definitely would recommend the Ft. Lauderdale location with Dexter. 🍸

The Elite Bartending event staff was so easy to work with as we planned a mixology class for our bachelorette weekend. We loved Stephanie’s energy. The team was very accommodating with our requests and we learned so much!

So I just want to say this class and the instructor dexter are absolutely amazing 👏, he keeps it very engaging fun and informative. I highly recommend if your looking on getting into mixology and bartending.

Amazing bartending school !! Even better class instructor ! Dexter is very welcoming , kind, assertive , and thorough when it comes to teaching. You will learn everything you need to know and have fun at the same time . I definitely recommend this class if you are looking to excel at bartending !

This course was so unexpectedly fantastic. I came with no experience at all and really wanted to learn the basics of bartending. Dexter was my instructor and he was amazing. We covered so many important recipes as well as got a lot of practice behind the bar and felt comfortable to make practice drinks. Stay consistent with the course because it is really worth it in the end. I had a lot of fun and would recommend to anyone trying to get involved with bartending. Worth every penny truly.

If you are thinking of attending a Bartending school, look no further. It is hosted in a real bar/ club with real bottles and bar setting to help you get get a feel of working behind a real bar. Dexter our instructor was so fun and engaging with each one of us. He made this class fun to attend and to learn. For someone like me that learns more visually being shown and by listening, he helped me be able to grasp more information. We made drink daily! I learned a whole lot and feel ready to get out there and start making drinks for people.

We hired Dria's Elite Bartending for our wedding this past weekend and not one of our guests had a bad thing to say. Everyone boasted about how amazing and friendly is she (which she IS). Her service was impeccable and on point! Dria was so helpful during the planning process and helped bring what we envisioned to life! I will definitely be recommending her to any/all friends and family and will be keeping her in mind for future event. Thanks so much for being apart of our special day!

I took the bartending course with ELITE, and graduated with an A. This have been one of the best experiences of my life. Lucas was my instructor and he did a incredible job. I will recommended this school if someone is interested in learning the fundamentals of being a real bartender.

Loved going to Elite Bartending School!! Amy is the instructor and she has worked as a bartender for many years in a variety of different settings! She transfers this experience to her students during the two-week course. Although parts of each class are a lecture, you will be spending most of your time behind the bar learning and making all kinds of drinks. The class sizes are small (there are only 2 people including myself in the class), so you get all the individualized attention and instruction you need from Amy. Overall, I would recommend Amy and Elite Bartending to everyone.

This class was the best decision I have ever made. John was my instructor and he was great. He was very informative, and made the class a lot of fun. You learn a lot but it's completely worth it. I plan on returning to Elite Bartending School to keep learning with great people.
