9. Where should I learn to be a bartender?
I just passed the intermediate certificate~
Generally, it is not reliable to learn directly in a bar. Bar. The common process is to first go to a training class (there are two types of off-the-job and non-off-the-job learning) to learn basic knowledge, and then take the bartender qualification certificate. Then I was thinking about going to a bar.
Slightly larger and well-established bars do not like newcomers with zero basic knowledge, and even those with intermediate certificates may not be recognized. Generally speaking, it is better to go to a bar after you have a basic knowledge (if you have no basic skills at all, you may not even realize you were cheated...). When an apprentice first arrives at a bar, he or she will probably mainly do sanitation, washing things, and making syrup, but will not immediately have the opportunity to make real things. The extent to which the master teaches is another matter.
Personally, I think the first thing you need to do when learning bartending (whether you are looking for a class or an apprenticeship) is to taste all the commonly used wines (at least the six major distilled spirits) and try to remember them. Their characteristics will be of great help to future understanding! Because even if it is a training school with systematic teaching, in order to save costs, they will mainly use wine bottles to fill tap water for students to practice. Without a true understanding of wine, they can only learn the superficial knowledge, which will involve more recipes and even their own creations in the future. You will inevitably encounter bottlenecks when making cocktails.
Another great advantage of going to training classes and training schools is that those teachers have channels to get the [theoretical question bank] for the qualification examination, which is similar in nature to the driving license test, so you know~
When looking for a class, be sure to find a teacher who has actually worked in a bar, otherwise talking on paper will be a waste of tuition.
The above is excerpted from my answer to another online question. Let’s talk about something else~
Recruiting people in bars is not completely unreliable. You can give it a try.
Ask questions clearly about various things, such as which level the certificate is for, primary or intermediate? If you cannot get the intermediate certificate within two months of the normal process, the Labor Bureau requires that you must obtain the junior certificate before you can register for the intermediate level. It takes more than two months just to wait for the certificate to be issued and go through the registration process. And the current employment situation, there is never a shortage of people in big bars. The junior certificate is basically an introduction to science, and the intermediate certificate is considered to have some real skills, but it is not that optimistic. If the other party promises to get an advanced certificate, it is purely a lie. Advanced certificates are only issued after participating in competitions.
Understand the relevant examination and certification policies before talking to the bar, otherwise it is easy to sign a contract in ignorance.
There is also the so-called "stealing skills" problem when learning in a bar. Whether the master is reliable and how far you can learn depends on your understanding.
I studied and got my certificate in Shanghai. It should be said that Shanghai’s wine culture is the most developed in mainland China, and it is said that Shanghai’s bartender certificate is the only certificate recognized by foreign countries and issued in mainland China.
If you just want to get a certificate that is enough to scare people in China without requiring much practical ability, it is easier to take the exam in second-tier cities; can you complain about the operational exam examiners in Shanghai who have very bad looks and strict requirements... Everyone knows that passing the bartending exam in Shanghai is not easy...sigh.
I have thought of these for now, hope it helps~
10. What do junior bartenders usually learn
Master bartending skills
Using equipment and utensils correctly and mastering operating procedures proficiently can not only extend the use time of equipment and utensils, but also ensure the improvement of service efficiency. In addition, the mixing movements and postures when mixing drinks will also affect the quality and taste of the drinks. After bartending, the methods of rinsing, cleaning, and disinfecting wine utensils are also something bartenders must master.
Understand the customs behind wine
A kind of wine represents the living customs of the residents in the place where the wine is produced. Guests from different places have different food customs, religious beliefs and habits. You must carefully consider what kind of wine you drink and what ingredients you use when mixing drinks. If the wine recommended to a guest is inappropriate, it will affect the guest's interest and may even offend the customer's beliefs.
Knowledge of English is very important
The first thing is to understand wine labels. At present, many of the wines sold in bars are produced abroad, and the trademarks are in English. Bartenders must be able to read wine labels and make no mistakes when choosing wine, because all wines with the same physical properties will taste very different if they are produced in different places. Moreover, bartenders often encounter situations where there are overcrowded customers. At this time, if you are not familiar with English wine labels, you have to look for them slowly, which will make the customers anxious. Secondly, there are often many foreigners in the bar, and they also need to understand some foreign languages.
Have good temperament
Bartenders have certain requirements for height and appearance. Of course, they are not required to be as beautiful as idol stars. The key is to have decent clothing and good health. The personal temperament displayed by your appearance, elegant demeanor and friendly expression. In addition, being naturally calm and loving to deal with people is also very helpful for a successful career.
