The bartending industry is a place where fun and hard work go hand in hand. We at I.B.O.M. believe that the learning process is not complete till you have your part of fun during it; but again moderation is the key word.

We make sure we go through the course at the pace of the student no matter how long it takes and we move on to the next level only when a student is thorough with the previous levels.

  • The fully equipped bar at the institute allows the students to get a hands on experience at working a bar. The bar is at par with any modern bar with speed rails, ice bank, chillers and blenders to allow the students to learn speed bartending techniques.
  • We emphasize on free pouring techniques with the aid of exato-pour to facilitate speed bartending techniques.
  • The separate flair training area is lined with rubber mats on the floor to allow students to practice flair unhindered and continuously.
  • The training room has a seating capacity of twenty people but we usually conduct our classes in batches of not more than ten students at a time, to allow each of them to get personalized attention from the faculty.
  • The library has books about each and every aspect of beverage knowledge, along with a vast collection of CD – ROMs authored by International Bar Trainers.
