Class time
Fine Art offers you the most class time of any school.
Experience
Fine Art has the most experienced instructors in the city.
The most hands-on
Over 75% of your time will be spent behind the bar – theory is important, but learning to bartend is alot like learning a sport, or learning to be a great Barista at Starbucks, or learning how to knit! You have to do it over and over to get smooth – your 1st night on the job your new manager will notice your confidence moving around behind the bar from all the practice time we offer.
Great wine program
After you get about halfway through your course, we devote a solid 3 hour block to wine.
Textbook
At Fine Art we don't just give you some loose sheets of paper to lose. Our 140 page textbook is yours to keep.
The most widely recognized certificate
Founded in 1973 With 9 locations in Canada, Fine Art is the biggest and oldest bartending school in Canada. Our over 25,000 graduates have spread the reputation that our Commercial Bartending Certificate is the best training offered in Canada. Our students have ensured that more managers and owners are familiar with the solid training offered at Fine Art than any other school in Canada.
Location
We are located right downtown, 2.5 blocks from the Granville Skytrain Station. Where better to learn to bartend than in the heart of Vancouver’s bar and restaurant scene?
