First launched in 2011 to train bartenders in Pacific Asia, Diageo Bar Academy is an accredited bar training platform that has trained over 115,000 staff worldwide. Teaching foundational level courses to advanced, world-class workshops, bar professionals in over 40 countries can access our training. &nbsp;
The wider Diageo Bar Academy programme also offers select WSET courses, which do have more limited availability depending on your country.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Diageo Bar Academy integrates the WSET Level 1 Award in Spirits as part of the Foundation course, allowing bar professionals to obtain this useful qualification.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Diageo Bar Academy Members can also complete WSET Level 2 Award in Spirits as a standalone, advanced learning course, as long as your country is part of the WSET Approved Providers.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

WSET stands for 'The Wine &amp; Spirit Education Trust' and is a long-standing international body that teaches wines and spirits education. Founded in 1969, WSET offers authoritative courses that are recognised globally, allowing bartenders to obtain a suite of qualifications.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Diageo Bar Academy offers multiple courses to suit various skill levels and roles within the industry. &nbsp; &nbsp;
Beginners can browse the Essential modules, which offer standalone lessons covering product knowledge, customer service, and creating quality drinks. You can also access the Foundation course combining all these singular modules into a two-day session with the WSET Level 1 Award In Spirits qualification. &nbsp; &nbsp;
More experienced bar professionals can also explore the Advanced modules, which cover an in-depth study of high-level drink-making techniques, category spirits, and bar operations. You can complete these modules separately, but they are only available to Diageo Bar Academy members who have passed the Level 1 Exam.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
You can also access World Class workshops that supply training to help aspiring bartenders prepare for competitions to become the next World Class Bartender of the Year. &nbsp; &nbsp;
Senior bartenders, managers and owners can also explore the Business of Bars course. This includes eight modules that provide tools and tips to help you improve your guest experience and get the most out of your venue.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Diageo Bar Academy provides these courses in over 40 countries worldwide, including The UK, United States, India, Belgium, Peru, and more.&nbsp; &nbsp;
The courses are taught differently in various locations, so contact Diageo Bar Academy to discuss your options.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Diageo Bar Academy does not provide individual training, instead offering these courses to bar teams and service crews. Contact Diageo Bar Academy to organise training for your hospitality outlet or F&amp;B group.&nbsp;&nbsp;

You don't need anything to start the Essential modules or Foundation course at Diageo Bar Academy, although you may perform better with prior bartending experience. &nbsp; &nbsp;
To start an advanced course, you must complete the Foundation course to be enrolled. These courses are offered on an invitation-only basis, so they are a bit tricky to get started.&nbsp;

Diageo Bar Academy offers varied and comprehensive courses that all suit different roles and levels of bartending experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Completing the courses that best suit your skill level is recommended, meaning beginners should start with the Foundation course.&nbsp;

The training offered at Diageo Bar Academy differs based on country. Diageo Bar Academy heavily subsidises the costs of these courses so that more bartenders and venues can improve their skills, with the aim of raising the standing of bartending globally.

All Diageo Bar Academy trainers are skilled, WSET-certified individuals with years worth of experience in the industry. Diageo Bar Academy trainers are some of the most well-renowned in the world, and a WSET Accredited Educator heads each country's training team.&nbsp;

After the physical session, all resources and learning materials will be available to each attendee once they become a member of Diageo Bar Academy. After the training, each attendee will receive an email to complete their registration to unlock all related documents.
