Our most popular course, the International Mixology Course is aimed at beginners looking to get a solid base in mixology skills and become confident and competent behind a bar. It will provide the perfect platform for anyone looking to specialise in cocktails and bar tending on yachts of varying sizes and is taught in small groups for a more personal learning experience.
This course covers everything from bartending fundamentals, such as setting up a bar and working as a team, to product knowledge, classic cocktail making, and core techniques. It takes place over one week of intensive training with a master mixologist and leads to the WEST Level 1 in Award Spirits qualification, a professional certification recognised in over 70 countries.
During training, you’ll get practical, hands-on experience of making cocktails and will use fresh ingredients and real spirits. We’ll teach you the perfect serve for 40+ cocktails taken from the IBA classics list – including favourites such as mojitos, martinis, old fashioned, and daiquiris – as well more modern twists.
Once you’ve finished the International Mixology Course, you’ll be more than ready to start shaking, straining, and serving the tastiest, most spectacular cocktails on any yacht, anywhere in the world!
The Advanced Mixology Course is designed for experienced bartenders looking to gain an advanced understanding of mixology. This course follows on from our popular International Mixology Course. During the course, students will advance their product knowledge and learn to compare brands, to ensure the right product is chosen to make the best possible cocktails.
