Find detailed answers to your most pressing questions so you can move forward with confidence.
1. How do I get my bartending license?
Here’s the deal: New York doesn’t actually require a “bartending license.” But no worries! With our A.T.A.P. certification, you’ll get top-notch training recognized by the New York State Liquor Authority.
It’s everything you need to serve safely and responsibly, minus the confusing paperwork.
2. What’s A.T.A.P. certification?
Great question. A.T.A.P. (Alcohol Training Awareness Program) is the official certification from the New York State Liquor Authority.
It covers all the essentials for serving responsibly, like spotting underage customers and knowing when to say “last call.” Plus, it’s included in all our programs, so you’re covered from day one.
3. Do you help with staffing bartenders?
Absolutely! We’re all about connections here. Our job placement support connects you with industry employers who are looking for fresh talent.
We help match you with a bartending role that fits your skills and vibe. So yes, you’ll have plenty of support finding that first (or next) bartending gig.
4. Does my certification expire?
Yes, but don’t worry. New York’s A.T.A.P. certification is good for three years, and we’ve got your back when it’s time to renew.
Graduates of our Full-Time Program get free lifetime refresher courses, and we even offer an exclusive renewal rate for our alumni.
You’ll be covered for the long haul.
5. When can I start bartending?
Quick answer: as soon as you’re done with the course.
Our Full-Time Program runs just one week, and it’ll prepare you to start working the moment you graduate. Or, if you need to be certified even faster, our Consolidated Program can have you job-ready in just one day.
We’ll even help you find those first few gigs!
6. What if I move from New York to another state?
You’ll still be set! Our training is designed to give you lifetime skills, because bartending know-how is as good in Miami as it is in Manhattan.
So whether you’re moving out of state or just looking for skills that travel, you’ll be ready to work at bars anywhere. Just keep an eye out for any state-specific requirements.
