Elite Bartending School was established in Miami Beach, Florida in 2007. We are a State Licensed Bartending School regulated by the Florida Department of Education. In building Elite Bartending School our founders wanted to put together a school unlike any other of its kind, providing a stellar education which was current to provide our students with a challenging, and applicable hands on experience behind real bars. Most schools out there today teach students a history lesson with minimal challenge. We are not that school. We train our students in practical bartending. Getting them ready for the always expanding and changing bartending scene that cities like Cape Coral, Naples, Ft. Myers, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and the Florida Keys demand. We have become the primary example for other Bartending Schools, leading the industry in producing thousands of todays top bartenders over the years. With our doors open for over 9 years out of our original location in Miami Beach we expanded our market to Fort Lauderdale opening our fourth location right in the downtown area. We realize the need for an up to date practical bartending school in Fort Lauderdale and throughout Broward County, and we havent looked back since. Like all of our locations, we have always felt running the program out of an actual bar setting makes for the most ideal classroom in which to learn bartending. Elite Bartending Schools program is very hands on; doing all lectures and practicing directly at and behind the bar. This provides the ultimate hands on experience for our students and provides all students with amazing nationwide job placement opportunities. All students have access to all of our Job Placement and event staffing opportunities in not only in Fort Lauderdale, but also in Miami, Orlando, West Palm Beach and Southwest Florida. We also continue to work with many bartending schools all across the country providing job placement for those who have a plan to move out of the area.

Most bartending schools get their students behind a bar and have them make drinks robotically, never training them on an essential skill, P.O.S. computer training. This is not realistic! Elite Bartending School Fort Lauderdale offers the most up to date Point Of Sale computer training to all Fort Lauderdale bartending school students, who enroll in our program. Students will do hours of mock transactions by making drinks orders and ringing them, starting tabs, in order to learn how to properly operate the P.O.S system and its functions thus simulating what an actual bartending shift entails. This is not only an essential skill often neglected or forgotten by most bartending schools out there, but and great resume builder to have in todays bartending world.
