The hotel, bar and restaurant business in the area has boomed over the past 5 years. This has created a demand for professional, qualified Bar Managers. Luzerne County Community College’s Professional Mixology and Bar Management Program is designed to enable the student to become very marketable in a short period of time. This comprehensive 48-hour program is designed to prepare the student for a full-time or part-time career in the bartending field. Course topics include:
- Identifying, selecting, purchasing, preparing and serving alcoholic beverages in an intelligent and professional manner. (Alcoholic substitutes will be used.)
- Storing and handling inventory
- Bar operations
- Merchandising
- Effective bar control
Students successfully completing the program will receive a Certificate of Achievement, and will be equipped with the necessary skills to handle all areas and problems relative to bar operation. Guest lectures and field trips may be included, time permitting.
In addition, each participant will receive a Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board-approved Responsible Alcohol Management Program: Seller/Server Training and Certification*. R.A.M.P. is a three-hour training program designed to prevent the abuse of alcohol by patrons. By learning R.A.M.P., individuals who serve and sell alcohol can obtain the skills necessary to recognize and effectively respond to drinking situations that might get out of control, prevent the consumption of alcohol by minors, and understand the liabilities and potential legal consequences to the place of business for non-compliance. Upon completion of the training and passing the exam, students will become certified in Pennsylvania for 2 years. Instructor: Joe Palmentere.
