he has seen many other schools come and go in Florida.

their school operations nationwide without using misleading gimmicks

Tony and ABC
suggest there are a few QUESTIONS & ANSWERS to
think about when choosing or comparing Florida Bartending Schools
here in Orlando:
Q: Has the owner of ABC been written about in major newspapers
statewide and throughout the nation?
A: YES. No other
school owner has been written about more than Tony Sylvester and
his Bartending Schools in the state of Florida and nationwide.

has also been featured on a number of major South Florida TV stations.
Q: Does ABC’s
competition have letters of recommendation lining the walls of
their schools made out to the current location
or owner from Bars/Hotels/Rest that operate here in Florida.
A: No, but ABC thinks one school owner said he had a letter from
some out of state school, which has no relevance here in Florida.
Q: Does ABC have a placement list that shows where students have
been placed in the Orlando area in their website?
A: Yes, Click
on the Job Placement link for a sample of some of the great places
we have gotten students work. Remember, no school has placed
more students in Orlando and Florida than ABC.
Q: Do they teach you service bar and full service training at
their school?
A: No. They have no service bar setups at their school to teach
students banquet or private party bar service.
Q: Do they
demand that you have to come in to sign up and won’t
register you over the phone?
A: Yes. Schools
use this sales practice so that they can high-pressure you to sign-up
when you come into their school. For your convenience, ABC
gives you the choice to register either over the phone or in person.
Q: Do they mislead you with National Alcohol Certification claims
to make you assume that your now certified as a bartender nationwide?
A: Yes, one school in the Orlando area uses this type of sales
gimmick.
Q: Do they mislead you with claims of written contracts with cruise
ships and job opportunities here in Florida?
A: If they are not posted on their website beware of such claims!
Q: Has the owner of the school written his own bartending training
manual or does he buy it from an outside source.
A: Tony has written his own book and does not pay anyone to furnish
books like our competition.
Q: Do they have many links to other schools with different names
on their website?
A: As pointed out above be careful of schools that use this type
of sales gimmick.
