The Level 2 Certificate in Professional Bartending Skills course goes considerably further than the beverage-category and drink-making training typically offered to bartenders.

The course is a UK certificated Level 2 qualification, allowing you to demonstrate your level of knowledge to future employers. It will also qualify you to take the Level 4 National Diploma in Professional Bar Management – a major step forward in bartender career development as well an educational foundation into university level hospitality courses.
