I know, Jersey Girl, that you want are eager to get a job bartending, but I am
in school now and a bartending school is well worth the money.
I took my test today for certification, "Bar Coded," it is a course that is
required by all bartenders. The certification assures that you know how to
serve alcohol responsibly.
I do not know about the on-line bartending schools.
There are places that will let you work either as a bartender or as a barback
(a bartenders helper) while you are going to either bartending school or
getting your certification.
