Hands-On Training

Learning to bartend is easy because our course is completely hands-on. While our students are in class, they spend at least 80% of the time behind our bar, which is 35 ft. long and fully stocked and equipped with cash registers, glassware, and a variety of bar tools and equipment.  Each class contains lecture, role-playing, discussions, and practical bartending experience.

The Main Line Center for Bartending offers day, evening, and weekend classes to accommodate any student's schedule. In addition, all classes can be re-arranged by the school director for any student with conflicting commitments. For graduates in need of a refresher, we offer free refresher courses all year long, in addition to our lifelong job placement assistance program.

Many of our graduates have found employment at various restaurants, hotels, casinos, bars, country clubs, night clubs, catering companies, and cruise ships through our job placement assistance program.

"I had gone through Main Line Center for Bartending a year ago but did not have time to look for a job. So I came back a year later for a free refresher course. While I was in class one day a bartender called the school and needed a replacement ASAP. Since I was almost finished with the refresher and had completed the class before the director of the school gave me the job. I went, they liked me and I am working there still. Thanks to Main Line Center for Bartending, I have also found numerous private parties to work as well. The job is fun, the pay is great, but I never could have done it without the skills Main Line Center for Bartending provides. It is a wonderful school, the classes are filled with interesting people, and the instructors are very experienced in the subject. I would recommend Main Line Center for Bartending to anyone interested in Bartending. Thanks MLCB."

"I recently graduated from the Main Line Center for Bartending. Having very limited experience in the bartending world, I found this class to be exactly what I was looking for. I received many hours of invaluable, hands-on experience, behind the fully stocked wet bar on site at the school. The combined decades of experience the instructors have and implemented in their teachings, are absolutely invaluable. I learned tons of fantastic tricks of the trade...The instructors create a wonderful atmosphere that not only prepares you for any potential bartending position, but you'll also have a ton of fun in the process. The class was extremely affordable and paid for itself within my first month upon graduating. I also found the TIPS certification the school offers to be a fantastic resume builder. A close friend recommended this class to me, and I in-turn, would recommend this class to anyone thinking about starting a career in the bartending world. Do yourself a favor and signup for the next class!!"

"I just wanted to to give you some great news! I landed a job at a country club near my home and I am thrilled. My first job was a wedding with 120 people. The two bartenders made $218 in tips along with our hourly pay. My boss is thrilled with me, my knowledge and comfort level, as I had never bartended before now. I have to thank you and my teachers at Main Line Center for Bartending for all that you taught me. The school is fabulous because when you begin working, you feel like you've already been there and done that. You guys are great and I have recommended your school to many, many people who have asked how I did it. Very sincerely, thank you!"
