well as nationwide.

schools come and go in Florida.

Tony and
ABC suggest there are a few QUESTIONS & ANSWERS to think about when choosing
or comparing Florida Bartending Schools here in Orlando:
Q: Has the owner of ABC been
written about in major newspapers statewide and throughout the nation?
A: YES. No other school owner
has been written about more than Tony Sylvester and his Bartending Schools
in the state of Florida and nationwide. Click here
for examples. Tony has also been
featured on a number of major South Florida TV stations.
Q: Does ABC’s competition have
letters of recommendation lining the walls of their schools made out to the
current location or owner from Bars / Hotels / Restaurant that operate here in
Florida.
A: No, but ABC thinks one school
owner said he had a letter from some out of state school, which has no
relevance here in Florida.
Q: Does ABC have a placement
list that shows where students have been placed in the Orlando area in their
website?
A: Yes, Click on the Job
Placement link for a sample of some of the great places we have gotten students
work. Remember, no school has placed more students in Orlando and Florida
than ABC.
Q: Do they teach you service bar
and full service training at their school?
A: No. They have no service bar
setups at their school to teach students banquet or private party bar
service.
Q: Do they demand that you have
to come in to sign up and won’t register you over the phone?
A: Yes. Schools use this sales
practice so that they can high-pressure you to sign-up when you come into
their school. For your convenience, ABC gives you the choice to register
either over the phone or in person.
Q:
Do they mislead you with National Alcohol Certification claims to make you
assume that your now certified as a bartender nationwide?
A: Yes, one school in the Orlando area uses this
type of sales gimmick.

with cruise ships and job opportunities here in Florida?
A: If they are not posted on their website beware
of such claims!
Q:
Has the owner of the school written his own bartending
training manual or does he buy it from an outside source.
A: Tony has written his own book and does not pay anyone to furnish
books like our competition.
Q: Do they have many
links to other schools with different names on their website?
A: As pointed out above be careful of schools that
use this type of sales gimmick.
