Bartending & Mixology Education 

The difference between an average bartender and a great bartender is that an average bartender needs a great venue to make money, whereas a great bartender will make money anywhere. We help create great bartenders!  The Bartending & Mixology Education course at Shaken & Stirred Bartending School is offered over 20 hours of live classroom instruction with practice and take-home assignments.  The tuition fee for the class is $495.00 payable one week prior to your class start date. If a student withdrawals after enrollment from class there will be a $100.00 withdrawal fee retained. Instructor-student ratio is 1:4 to ensure an attentive, personalized learning environment. 

At Shaken & Stirred Bartending School we deliver top-shelf quality and nothing less.  Our 20-hour course offers a thorough review and hands-on experience with:

• Bar Anatomy / Equipment • Exacto-Pour

• Applications of Glassware • Well, Call and Premium Liquors

• Recipes and Measurements • Beer and Wine Basics

It's been long established that there is NO official certification in bartending.  Yet state licensing of Shaken & Stirred Bartending School as a higher learning institution provides peace of mind that your tuition investment is worth every penny.  Licensing ensures that the minimum standards have been met to document school curriculum, costs and procedures, with formal evaluation and approval by the state Commision on Higher Education.  Reputation and credibility are important to us, providing assurance that our students receive superior knowledge and skill that will distinguish them in their field.  

Job placement assistance is important to consider when thinking about a career in bartending.  While no institution can guarantee employment upon program completion, Shaken & Stirred Bartending School administrators will gladly provide referrals to students who have satisfied course requirements.

Practicality and convenience are additional benefits of our course structure.  Shaken & Stirred Bartending School is easily accessible from just about anywhere along the Grand Strand because of proximity to 17 Bypass. Travel to and from classes should be as time-efficient as possible in our tourist town and the options for course scheduling are designed for flexibility around your existing schedule.  The course can be completed in 2 weeks with daytime and evening instruction hours.  Shaken & Stirred Bartending School reserves the right to cancel classes as needed.
