RAMP alcohol management training

Bartending Services-Pittsburgh/Catering Opportunities

July 6th, 2009

Working as a catering bartender is one of the easiest ways to make extra money through our school.  It’s relatively easy, its an amazing second job opportunity, and its extremely flexible.  You aren’t required to work every week on particular shifts.  You can get very busy over a specific period of time, slack off and not work for a period, and then once again start working all the time.  On top of that there are an incredible variety of ways to expand this opportunity for oneself and one’s friends. 

This past weekend over the July 4th holiday, we know that two graduates of our school split between $400-$500 working one party on Independance day.  Imagine that, work a couple of parties, and not only has the training paid for itself, but you are showing an incredible  profit.  Can you do that with any other type of training.

How do you get those catering/party bartending jobs?

First of all, our school is a tremendous resource for catering and special event party bartending opportunities.  We get calls all year long looking for catering bartenders.  We outreach to employers all the time.  This includes the catering companies, hotels, special event places, etc. that need staff.

Secondly, when people search for caterers, bartenders, etc, whether its on the web, in the Yellow Pages, in other sources of informaton–they find us.  We are always visible, and we have an enormous number of grads always available.  That makes us one of the prime sources for these calls.

Often, the people calling for bartenders want staff that is certified with regard to alcohol management.  They want bartenders who will serve responsably.  In fact across the nation, there are many halls and exquisite centers used for events that require an alcohol management certification.  Its an insurance requirement.  All of our grads are certified with two programs;  RAMP, the PA program; and TAM a national program.

Our experience with this opportunity will help you develop and grow a personal bartending service catering opportunity.   For years we have seen grads build their personal catering bartending business and income.  Its an absolutely great way to make extra money.  We are happy to share this with grads.

Of course, if you are looking for catering bartenders in Pittsburgh, Western Pennsylvania, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia–call us;  (412) 921-9227.  We will be happy to help you.

RAMP alcohol management certification available at the Pittsburgh Bartender School

March 18th, 2009

Last autumn instructors at the Pittsburgh Bartender School were certified to teach RAMP, Pennsylvania’s Responsible Alcohol Management Program to students.  After checking we are the only bartending school in Pennsylvania that teaches this program.  (We simultaneously teach TAM, a national alcohol management program.)

Graduates receive wallet sized cards recognizing they are certified in both programs upon graduation from our program.

RAMP is critical for Pennsylvania bartenders and employers–the bar and restaurant owners across the state are aware of this.  The state enforces responsible service of alcohol throughout the year and ensures that underage customers aren’t served alcohol.  In fact if there is one thing bar operators are aware of its the ever present threat of a sting by law enforcement officers using underage people to check to see if bars are serving alcohol responsibly.

As a result RAMP, the alcohol management program sponsored by Pennsylvania is widely used and universally recognized within the state and throughout the industry. 

RAMP training is included within our 40 hour bartending program.  Upon passing the test are graduates are RAMP certified …..and that much more attractive to employers.   Best of all RAMP certification is included in the price.

Its a great value to students and bar owners alike.  If you want bartending training in Pennsylvania and you want to make sure you are certified and more attractive to bar owners and employers call us at (412) 921-9227
