"I started bartending because I fell in love with crafting cocktails, but struggled to find resources for designing my own drinks.
After years of self-teaching, I've had global opportunities. Now, I've built this program to share my knowledge so you can advance your mixology career."

We offer a variety of courses, both for beginning mixologists and those with experience. This certification course is designed for those with a little background knowledge who want to advance their career and take it behind the bar.
It depends on the course-- In this certification course, we'll cover a wide range of topics, including flavor profiles, cocktail components & families, balancing ingredients, and creating your own cocktails.
The course lasts about 4-6 hours when just watching the content. If you follow along by making syrups and cocktails (which we recommend!), then the course will take about 10-12 hours.
There is no formal accreditation system for bartenders, but a course from a company with a good reputation and which offers you certification (likes ours!) is definitely more respected in the industry than others.
Absolutely! This course will help you develop your own cocktail skills and challenge you to use your knowledge to create your own drinks.
Yes! The job requires you to be hands-on, which is why we spend so much time showing students how to approach the job and training from practical, hands-on lessons that you can physically follow along with.
There are plenty of courses that specialize in various cocktails and spirits. Our courses focus more on technique, style, and topic. In the Bar Basics course, you'll learn more classic cocktails, for example. In this course, we focus on technique and creating your own cocktails. Our other courses focus on things like mocktails and batched cocktails.
Look carefully at each course description and think about your current skill set. If you are beginning your cocktail journey, begin with the Bar Basics course and move your way up. If you already know the basics but want to create cocktails or go pro, sign up for this certification course!
The mixology certification program was exactly what I was looking for. With my busy schedule, I was able to complete the course at my own pace, The training video's, other information provided were straight forward and easy to follow. I highly recommend the Mixology Certification Program for anyone who's looking to expand their knowledge and make great cocktails. Plus, the certificate of completion is my way of showing off and it's displayed on our home bar shelf :)
I loved the mixology course and learned a lot. I especially loved that I could take the courses at my own pace. The instructor was easy to follow and the information presented in a way that lended to a greater understanding of the science involved in building cocktails. The "homework", while not mandatory, was fun to do and explore all the different ways to modify drinks. Learning how to make changes to basic recipes is priceless. I would highly recommend A Bar Above's online courses.
Thank you for reviewing the course!
