Where do I take your classes?

 

The Nexgen bartending certification course is offered online. As a bartending student you simply read the learning material from your home and take the online certification test when you are prepared.

 

How long is the test?

 

The bartending certification exam consists of 100 multiple choice questions ranging in scope from mixology, drink history, customer relations, tip maximization and other fundamental subjects relating to bartending. The test requires a minimum score of 70% or higher in order to be eligible for certification and takes approximately 1 hour to complete.

 

What is the total cost of the program?

 

The total cost of the Nexgen Bartender Training Program is $24.99. That's it. There are no hidden fees. This includes your online learning material, the cost of the online test and the cost of the shipment for your Nexgen bartender training card.

Why get certified online?

Today, many of the best schools in the North America are offering degree program online. The Internet has become another learning medium. As long as you are a "self starter" and can commit a couple hours out of your day for a few days then you stand to benefit greatly from the benefits of online learning. Since we have no overhead costs (i.e. we don't pay rent, hydro etc), our prices are drastically cheaper. Traditional bartending schools offer their programs for approximately $200- $600. By enrolling in our program you are literally saving hundreds of dollars.

How legitimate is an online bartending school?

 

Nexgen bartending school is just as legitimate as other bartending schools. With us, you  still get the same information and testing procedures as you would at a "real world" bartending school. However you don't need to travel or work around someone else's schedule since you work towards your bartending certification from the comfort of your own home. Nexgen bartending school is a registered business just like real world bartending schools.

Are there any hidden costs?

No. Your one time tuition covers everything you need including all of your learning materials, examination fee and the shipping of your bartending certificate upon completion of the course.

How much do bartenders make?

 

This is probably the most frequently asked question, and the answer to it can vary greatly. However, a good bartending job should have you bringing in no less than $100 per shift. Many lounges and clubs are only open during evenings and weekends, it is not uncommon for bartenders to work only 4-5 hours per night and walk away with over $200 CASH. Even if you only worked 2 nights a week you could easily make over $500 when your hourly pay is factored into the equation. That's not bad considering many people have to slave 50 hours a week at some jobs to make that kind of money!

 

What are my chances of getting a job with your certification course?

 

Just to clarify... NO bartending school can offer a 100% guarantee that they will ensure a job after completion of the course. The reality is that any job can be hard to find since there is a high demand for them. This being said, having your bartending certification will drastically increase your chances of being employed over those who don't have certification.

In the end, your employment success will have to do with how much work you put into finding a job, how often you look, but most of all... how determined you are.

 

It has been longer than 24 hours since I have written the test but I have yet to receive my score.

 

Sometimes when we receive your test scores either a) there was a problem sending it to our account or b) you punched in your wrong email address and therefore we couldn't reply to your email. More often than not, possibility B seems to be the case. In this instance, we still have your test scores but we just can't send it to you until we have your correct email address. Therefore all you need to do is send us an email using our bartending school contact page. We will then look through our database of email addresses until you find yours. You will then receive your score within 24 hours.
