Bols Cocktail Academy FAQ
The best way to become a skilled bartender is to gain hands-on experience in a good bar while applying the knowledge and techniques you’ve learned during your training. Practical experience and consistency are key to building confidence and mastering the craft. Our courses at the Bols Cocktail Academy provide a solid foundation, but growth comes with time, effort, and dedication.
While a certificate isn’t always required to become a bartender, it can help you to get started in the industry and to demonstrate your skills to potential employers. Employers tempt to favor applicants that have a bartending certificate. At the Bols Cocktail Academy, we emphasize practical learning because we believe experience is the ultimate teacher. Our courses are designed to give you the knowledge, hands-on training, and confidence to kickstart your career as a bartender and are officially certified by the SVH (https://www.svh.nl/).
Aperol Spritz, Moscow Mule, Gin & Tonic, Tequila Sunrise... Cocktails are undeniably tempting when you’re surrounded by them. However, as an educational program, we prioritize responsible drinking and professionalism when conducting tastings and working with alcoholic products. While some establishments may allow drinking, most professional bartenders focus on creating excellent drinks rather than consuming them.
