Q. Why Not “On The Job” training verses Schooling?

A. “On the Job” training is not uncommon, but can be very time consuming, stressful, confusing, unforgiving of mistakes and sadly enough more often than not – an atmosphere of an unwillingness to share all ones years of learned techniques and knowledge – fearing if one teaches all they know they may be replaced. These pressures and atmosphere are not welcomed, accepted or tolerated at PCBS. Making the transfer of knowledge much easier to learn and apply. PCBS's teaching is we give you a template to the most common methods & best tasting recipes that are being served. This template gives you the flexibility to adjust & not just learn to pour one way as you might learn being "On the Job." trained. We all know that many establishments have different ratio's depending on their clientele. Therefore, with a template, you can easily add or take away to fashion drinks specifically for your patrons demands.
To actually go to a bartending school "Registered with your State" becomes far more advantagous for your learning. It also shows a prospective employer your dedication and becomes an easy way to verify credintials and test scores in order to make a logical decision of whom to hire. It often gives the establishment a lower insurance rate also when hiring state certified graduates. Just make sure the school has the credentials, staff, tools & equipment and the curriculum you desire.
