TESTIMONIAL
"Within two weeks of completing the course, I got my first bartending job!"
"I took Fine Art's 28-hour Bartending Course in May 2024, and within two weeks of completing the course, I got my first bartending job! During the course, I received help with my resume, advice on handling interview questions, and I was even able to come back and practice making drinks at the school a few days before I had my tryout at the bar. Had I not taken the course, I would never have had the confidence to apply for a bartending job."

TESTIMONIAL
"I worked in a pub prior to doing the course and I still learned new techniques."
"A great experience all round. You learn so much and as someone who has worked in a pub prior to doing the course I still found myself learning new techniques not only into making drinks and behind the bar etiquette but how you should serve people. Grant was a great teacher whom I cannot fault, very enthusiastic and a great teacher. Highly recommend the course."
