"Right after the program, I got a job."
The hiring manager loved that I took the course because he didn't have to train me as much.
Naimah, student
"Took this course to return to the restaurant industry after a 15 year hiatus"
...but I did not expect it to be FUN. Great investment that I'll make back pretty quickly 😊

Lots of hands on practice, including timed drills. Lots of repetition of commonly ordered drinks.
