Founded by Bartenders for Real NY Style Bartending Training

Experience - The Academy of Professional Bartending was founded by bartenders for quality and affordable bartender training. With over 36 years combined of bartending, management, competitions, private parties, Flair bartending, restaurant and hotel experience, it's easy to see why we are Number One!

Our goal was simple. Offer the public an affordable bartending course. Give them all the bartender training and tools necessary to obtain a bartending job upon graduation. And most importantly, make it easy to learn and have fun while doing so. And we have succeeded! With a growing dissatisfaction for the level of respect given to bartending school graduates, and with the common vision that a bartender was far more than just some graduate of a mixology course, APB's founder created our mixology course, featuring the very newest, most relevant and technically accurate training methods in the industry today!

We have been dedicated to quality education training and providing students with a superior bartending training program for over 15 years! As we begin our 16th year combined, we can assure you that our school's commitment to excellence in education, and to the personal and professional development of each and every student, is as strong and unwavering today as it was in the beginning when our staff began teaching their first bartending classes. Our past is impressive. With well over 15,000 students trained throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, our NY licensed instructors are clearly the industry leaders in quality bartender training.





Licensing~ The Academy of Professional Bartending School is a New York State licensed bartending school. What this means is that the Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision (BPSS) oversees and monitors non-degree granting proprietary schools in New York State. The Bureau is responsible for ensuring that the overall educational quality of the programs offered will provide students with the necessary skills to secure meaningful employment and for protecting students' financial interests while attending proprietary schools. BPSS licenses/registers proprietary schools and credentials proprietary school teachers to ensure that appropriate standards are met. The Bureau investigates student complaints and conducts comprehensive investigations of schools to assure compliance with Education Law and Commissioner's Regulations. Proprietary schools under BPSS jurisdiction include trade and business schools, computer training facilities, and for-profit English as a Second Language (ESL) schools.

APB's Award Winning School, Classrooms & Equipment

Our Westchester Bartending School - Westchester's #1 Rated bartending training school, The Academy of Professional Bartending, is proud to be part of New Rochelle's 300 year history. With 9.3 miles of shoreline along the Long Island Sound it is easy to see why it is referred to as "The Queen City of the Sound." The Academy of Professional Bartending School of Westchester is located in the beautiful and historic area of New Rochelle, NY.

Our Westchester Bartending Classrooms - Our Westchester bartending school is a facility that supports a vibrant mixology course. When new students come to visit our school they see a school that strongly reflects the educational program.

We don't believe a better facility alone necessarily makes a better school. A productive and successful school needs to be sustained by a strong educational program and staff. Our state-of-the-art school supports such a program.

In our work we have focused on solutions and options that meet the needs of the curriculum and minimize the cost to our students. Our philosophy has focused on providing an outstanding bartending training program, create the latest training school to work in, provide a course that is fun and easy to learn and most of all make it affordable to all.

With today's rocky economy, we may look for additional resources to supplement our income. Our bartending school is one such resource.

NY State Licensed Staff and Curriculum

We at the Academy of Professional Bartending School believe that teaching excellence is the key to student success. We take great pride in the fact that our bartending instructors are not only industry experts, but also have prior experience in the art of teaching. Friendly and dedicated bartending instructors that truly want you to succeed. From the moment you are greeted by our instructors, our professional bartending staff assures your success.

NY STATE LICENSED: Every member of our teaching staff has successfully passed or exceeded all of the requirements set forth by the New York State Education Department. All members of our teaching staff are NY State licensed and have a minimum of 5 years of experience as bartenders / managers. NY State only requires 2 years.

EXCELLENCE: At APB, a teacher must pass an Official APB exam in order to be considered for our instructing staff.

EXPERIENCE: Every member of the APB teaching staff must have experience teaching classes and or tutoring students before being hired. We only audition teachers who have proven success in the profession.

TRAINING: Our APB Instructor training is unmatched by any other bartending school; new APB instructors must go through a 100+ hour training process to guarantee that they meet our unparalleled standards. This method ensures that every Instructor is an expert in our curriculum before setting foot in a classroom.

PERSONALITY: Our teachers are selected on the basis of their ability to be engaging and interactive in the classroom, to bring life to the material and to make your APB experience as interesting and fun as possible. We ensure this quality through our extensive in-person audition process - we extend an offer to approximately 1 out of 5 individuals who meet the score and experience requirements. This reflects the fact that there is a vast difference between ability on the exam and ability to lead a class (there are some boring high scorers out there).
