To kick-off my upcoming new Bar Stars column in Vancouver View Magazine that begins with their March issue. I have put together this awesome contest and our biggest contest ever that is Valued at $1,390.

Enter to WIN a Bartending Course Package for 2 people at Metropolitan Bartending – Value $1,390

The winner will win two of the most premium course packages the school offers (so that the winner and a friend could go together). The course package includes the usual Basic Bartending Course, as well as an additional Bar Chef course, Flair Seminar (so fun), Wine Tasting Certification, and BC Smart Serve license. Total value for the 2 prize course packs is $1,390 ($695 each).

Metropolitan Bartending School offers a variety of bartending courses to help students become a certified professional in the hospitality industry. Gain valuable bartending certificates when making your way through our courses, which are kept small for a more personalized, one-on-one feel. This ensures that the proper skills are learned correctly and efficiently. Not only will students be taught to make multiple drinks at once, but they will also be put through authentic situations, such as creating a cocktail while ringing a patron in and starting a bar tab. Also, our bars are set up with the most commonly used liquor bottles giving students the most realistic look and feel possible. Having completed any one of our bartending courses, students will be ready for the real-world challenges faced by bartenders in the hospitality industry.
