Our DFW Bartending School's Course

*************** Our Exclusive Externship Program **************

The Premium Institute of Bartending Schools are the ONLY Bartending Schools in Dallas and Fort Worth Texas that require every student complete a minimum of a 2-hour Externship at a local bar or restaurant prior to graduation.   These are usually completed at the mid-point of the program.

WHY IS THE EXTERNSHIP A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF OUR BARTENDING TRAINING?

Whenever someone is entering a technical field, whether it is Bartending, Truck Driving, Cosmetology, or even the Medical Profession, that school’s training includes an Externship (On the Job Training) as part of their training. That is why as the owners of The Premium Institute of Bartending, we included the Externship requirement as part of our Bartending Program Curriculum.  Over the years, our Externship program has allowed us to establish strong relationships with numerous local bars and restaurants.  It is a win/win situation.  The Bar and Restaurant owners get a preview of their potential Bartender and our students get real Bartending experience.

HERE’S HOW THE EXTERNSHIP WORKS  

On the first day of class, the Externship Coordinator meets with every student to schedule the time and location of their Externship.  We do our best to match you with an environment that you may want to work in, since many of our students get hired at their Externship site. 

At your Externship, you will get to make real drinks for real customers.  You will get to interact with the customers, and observe a real point of sale system in use.  You will understand how a bar tab is managed and how a service bar is ran.  No matter how real our school simulates a real Bar, it is no substitute for the real thing.

You will work under the guidance a Lead Bartender or Bar Manager.  This allows you to ask questions and observe a real bar in action. 

The Externship also allows US to add some Bartending experience to your new resume that WE create for you.

The Externship allows you to graduate with more than just the ABC's of Bartending.  

The Texas Bartending School's Program Overview  

Our Dallas and Fort Worth Bartending Schools provide a hands-on environment that allows the students the opportunity to learn the skills of bar tending using official bar equipment, bottles, and drink recipes.  The program includes a mix of lecture and lab courses.  The students learn the art of mixology by preparing frozen drinks, layered drinks, and specialized cocktails, speed and efficiency in preparing drinks, bar operations, and the knowledge of beers and wines.  In addition to your Bartending Training, you will learn how to take and manage Inventory, keeps bar tabs, and get introduced to the Point of Sale System.  The skills learned in this course prepares students for careers in the bartending industry as bar tenders, waiters, and bar backs in restaurants, dance clubs, bars, and hotels as well as the skills to work as independent bartenders for special events and parties.  Our bartenders receive their bartending license upon graduation and are certified in all Texas Alcohol Laws related to serving liquor in the state of Texas.  We assist our bartenders that live and/or have a desire to work in other states in obtaining their certifications as well.
