Mixology Certification vs. Bartender Training
Bartender training emphasizes bar operations, equipment, classic drinks and guest service. Mixology certification goes deeper into flavor theory, ingredients, cocktail design and developing original recipes.
If you're new to the industry, start with our Bartender Training page. If you're comfortable with the basics and want to create more sophisticated drinks, the featured Mixology Certification course is a stronger match.
Training vs. licensing: A mixology course certificate is not the same as a state alcohol server permit or license. For responsible beverage service training, see our TIPS Certification page.
