Testimonials

Meet Laura Gallegos-Arroyo, a 50-year-old from Inner Sunset who decided to change her career by enrolling in the 2-week "Bartending & Mixology in California" course. This comprehensive program combines online modules, group classes, and 1-on-1 hands-on lessons. Laura was matched with Ronald C., a seasoned bartender with 7 years of experience in Bay Area bars.
"I learned so much about mixology and bartending techniques," Laura shared. "The hands-on lessons were super, and I loved that I could schedule them at my place. It was so convenient not having to go anywhere."
Thanks to Ronald's connections, Laura has already been introduced to a San Francisco bartending service company and will be helping them service weddings and events after graduation.
