Bartender: A varied profession with lots of customer contact

If you are looking for a job where you want to come into contact with lots of different people every day, then bartending is an interesting alternative. The job is as varied as the drinks menu. The spectrum ranges from simple beer to exotic cocktails, from mineral water to fine champagne.

A bartender should remain calm and friendly even in stressful situations and still have an open ear for their guests. In addition to professional knowledge and efficient work, a healthy dose of humor is part of a bartender's skills. Request documents on suitable courses today via Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch.

Questions and answers

A bartender not only taps beer and pours white wine spritzers, but can also be found in bars where he or she serves cocktails, mixed drinks and spirits. The bartender or barmaid, as the job title is often called, has a broad knowledge of preparation, serving and, of course, the individual spirits on offer and can provide guests with comprehensive information about them. Their experience enables them to find the right drink for each guest or to mix it according to their wishes. Since billing, communication with guests, inventory, cleaning and compliance with legal and hygiene regulations are also part of the tasks of bartenders, this profession should not be underestimated. Comprehensive training as a bartender is not compulsory to start out as one, but well-known or more upmarket bars in particular require solid training. This does not take three years like other training courses and is not federally regulated, but is offered by some private schools. It is best to speak to some bar managers or bar operators to find out what training and experience you expect from your bartenders and get comprehensive information.
For beginners' courses and private courses, you generally do not need any previous knowledge as a bartender, so that you can also take part in such a seminar as a complete layman when it comes to spirits, mixing and serving. However, continuing education, further training courses often build on existing knowledge, so they are only suitable for experienced bartenders. You can find out about the admission requirements and target groups of the individual courses from the bar schools, which you can contact using our form.
Bartending courses are not federally recognized training courses, which means that they are not standardized and mandatory. The content, duration and focus can therefore vary greatly depending on the school. At a bar school, for example, you will find courses for interested private individuals that teach you how to mix properly or teach you about spirits, as well as more extensive courses that are suitable for (prospective) professionals. Such seminars can be traditional bartending training courses, for example, which form the basis for a career as a bartender. But also flairtending and show bartending, molecular mixology or barista courses. Bar management, training as a chef de bar (bar manager) or cruise style mixology can also be the subject of a bartending course. It is therefore best to find out about the courses on offer from the bar schools and choose the course that is actually useful to you, whether for private or professional purposes as a bartender.
Corporate events where your employees learn the basics of cocktail mixing and have fun creating their own mixed drinks are also possible at bartending schools. Not all schools offer such a bartending course, but you will find a reference to company events involving bartending in the school descriptions of some providers.
