" The course has been an incredibly important and transformative experience for me. It provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the hospitality industry, covering both the strategic and operational aspects of managing a successful bar or restaurant. The lessons were practical and directly applicable to my goals, giving me tools and knowledge that I can immediately use in my work. Skills such as Bartending, Cocktail Mixology, barista, latte art and Restaurant management were all thought to me in a practical way. Beyond the technical skills, the course emphasized the importance of delivering exceptional customer service and creating memorable experiences for guests.
