What is needed for a bar course?
Whether specific knowledge or bar equipment is required for a bar course depends on the course or provider on the one hand and on the participant's needs and abilities on the other.
Apart from a certain degree of interest in bartending and an open mind for new things, no previous knowledge is required for a "normal" bar course.
The relevant course materials or tools (shaker with lid, measuring cup, spoon, filter and ice tongs) are also usually provided by the provider. As alcohol is served and drunk in a bar course, a minimum age of 18 years is mandatory.
Some providers offer a so-called bar internship after successful completion of a bar course. This allows participants to put the knowledge they have acquired into practice straight away. If the provider offers a training guarantee, a failed course can be taken again or repeated. However, please read the terms and conditions of the respective provider carefully and ask beforehand if anything is unclear.
