Protenders has been in operation since 2001 and has produced some of the top selling and top entertaining Bartenders and Events in Canada and the USA. We're here to show you the difference between a bartender and Protender! Our instructors have over 17 years experience behind the bar and in competition bartending. Also, our instructors currently Protend to keep current on the latest techniques and
moves as the course is ever evolving. Here is a little taste of what we offer:
Small Groups:
In order for you to get the training you deserve and for us to achieve the high standards we set for you, we limit our class size to 20-35 students only. With a small group you will benefit from a variety of specially designed practice sessions and receive the personalized attention and practice time you need. Hands-on Program:
Every student is guaranteed lots of practice in every class. As the course progresses, practice time becomes longer, more exciting, and more challenging. By the end of the course, you will have developed your speed and the ability to handle multiple cocktails, while incorporating fluid motion. We train you to become a complete bartender - an Absolute Protender
Speed Training & Upselling:
This portion of the course is designed to perfect your techniques, increase your bar speed and to eliminate bad bar habits. Our goal is to make you a more complete, faster, smoother, and higher selling bartender. Whether it's getting a big order out or handling high volume crowds, we'll teach you how to do it. Remember:
SPEED=HIGHER SALES,
HIGHER SALES=HIGHER TIPS. Our goal is to give the best hands-on guide in understanding how a career in bartending really works. Other Bartending schools will take a month and teach you what is in a screwdriver, and the contents of a rum and coke. At Protenders, we cover this as well but we believe this is only scratching the surface of what you need to know to make big dollars behind the bar. Remember a cook book doesn't make you a chef, its the skill involved! Note of caution, flair does not mean that spillage is permitted. All flair moves can be done, its just learning the right way to do it! Learn Tips and Techniques to start making more money on the floor and behind the Bar Today.
