"The best education there is"

Why did you take a bartending course?

After the course I didn’t feel like I had to study any more. A job at the local ICA store was not especially attractive to me so I decided to take a chance and go to London to get a job as a bartender. After surfing around the Internet and comparing schools I felt that EBS would suit me best.

What did you think of the course?

The course was excellent! I had no experience working in a bar, but after the course I was ready to work in the best bars in London.

What did you like about the instructors?

The instructors we had were very patient and good at explaining things. That the course was in English did not bother me at all.

What was best about the course?

The best part of the course for me was the theory lessons. Learning the basics and how the different types of spirits are made and flavoured would let me later work at places that were of higher quality than many others.

Would you recommend EBS to someone else and why?

If you want to work as a bartender this is a great place to start. I really recommend this course for anyone interested in a bartending career.

Was it worth the money?

4 weeks holiday with an extremely good course by day for that money? How could it not be worth it?

Why did you choose the course location that you did?

For me, it was London I chose because of the great number of cocktail bars in the city. They take their cocktails and ingredients very seriously in London, a fact that I appreciate.

Was the course at the level you expected, or did you expect something else?

The course was just about all that I expected. The only thing that surprised me was in fact how much fun the course was.
