The Professional Bartending Academy is certified by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. Since 1994, we have been Central Virginia’s number one bartending school since 1994. Through our passion for bartending, the staff at The Professional Bartending Academy strives to provide high-quality hands-on training to prepare individuals for work in any bar atmosphere.
While attending bartending class, students learn the organizational habits, bar etiquette, and high volume bar techniques to propel them into the bar industry. Upon graduation, we counsel and assist our graduates by connecting them to local bars, restaurants, hotels, country clubs, nightclubs, or private parties. Through The Professional Bartending Academy’s 26 year history as a local business, we have trained and placed thousands of students across the state of Virginia.
