The Premium Institute of Bartending Schools are the ONLY Bartending Schools in Dallas and Fort Worth Texas that requires every student complete a minimum of a 2-hour Externship at a local bar or restaurant prior to graduation. These are usually completed at the mid-point of the program.
WHY IS THE EXTERNSHIP A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF OUR BARTENDING TRAINING?
Whenever someone is entering a technical field, whether it is Bartending, Truck Driving, Cosmetology, or even the Medical Profession, that school’s training includes an Externship (On the Job Training) as part of their training. That is why as the owners of The Premium Institute of Bartending, we included the Externship requirement as part of our Bartending Program Curriculum. Over the years, our Externship program has allowed us to establish strong relationships with numerous local bars and restaurants. It is a win/win situation. The Bar and Restaurant owners get a preview of their potential Bartender and our students get real Bartending experience.
HERE’S HOW THE EXTERNSHIP WORKS:
On the first day of class, the Externship Coordinator meets with every student to schedule the time and location of their Externship. We do our best to match you with an environment that you may want to work in, since many of our students get hired at their Externship site.
At your Externship, you will get to make real drinks for real customers. You will get to interact with the customers, and observe a real point of sale system in use. You will understand how a bar tab is managed and how a service bar is run. No matter how real our school simulates a real Bar, it is no substitute for the real thing. You will work under the guidance of a Lead Bartender or Bar Manager. This allows you to ask questions and observe a real bar in action.
The Externship also allows US to add some Bartending experience to your new resume that WE create for you.
The Externship allows you to graduate with more than just the ABC's of Bartending. |
