The IBC is our flagship and most popular course and involves an intense 5 days of training for both the beginner and the developing bartender.
The topics covered within the course are universal, enabling bartenders to use the qualification in international bars and restaurants.
Over the course of the program the students participate in a number of theoretical and practical sessions, setting a good basis for further development and learning.

Other topics covered include:
