Professional Bartending Schools of America and its staff have been featured on local and national television shows. Most of the news articles have focused on how we train people of all ages and backgrounds for a new career in the fun and rewarding career of bartending.
Many of the news shows have also highlighted our staff competing in bartending flair competitions. We have had pretty good success in the Disney "Quest for the Best Bartender in America" contest and the Las Vegas "Legends of Bartending" contest held each year. PBSA is very proud of our staff who spend their off duty hours representing us in our industry! |
