Every great bartender started with zero experience.
Every state has its own rules for serving alcohol, so your path starts with where you live. Pick your state and we'll map the steps from zero experience to your first shift behind the bar.
How it works
The path is the same everywhere. Step 3, your state's alcohol-server rules, is the only part that changes.
Take the courses online: tools, pours, spirits, cocktails, service and how to get hired.
Watch every lesson in full to unlock each course's certificate of completion in your dashboard. It shows employers you trained. It isn't a license.
Some states and cities require a short alcohol-server course or permit, before or soon after you're hired. Your state page shows what applies.
Put your training and certificates on your resume and apply to bars and restaurants near you.
