To attend an EBS course you need to be 18 years old the moment the course starts. You can attend a course at EBS Kos or EBS Phuket if you are 17 years old and have your parent/guardian’s written permission.

If you are looking to take a course with EBS Las Vegas, EBS New York or EBS Miami you need to be 21 years old to be able to drink alcoholic drinks. You can attend a course in the USA if you are between 18 and 21 years old as you will still be able to learn all the elements of the course due to our training methods. If you are under 21 years old, you will not be able to take part in some of the organised events outside of school hours as they involve drinking alcoholic drinks.

No, we also offer courses in many other languages depending on the availability of our world-class instructors. We only recommend taking a course in a language other than your own, if you have a Professional Working Proficiency in this language. Professional Working Proficiency is the level at which you can discuss a variety of topics with ease and understand the majority of what others are saying, this way you get the full EBS experience and won’t miss out on anything! To find out which languages you can study in and where, give EBS CARE a ring and they’ll bring you up to date.

The course price covers your industry-leading bartending education and study materials for the duration of your course. Most of our schools also arrange free activities for you to take part in, these activities differ between schools but you can check them out on the ‘Student Life’ tab.

Accommodation is not included in the course price. At the booking page you will have the option to include accommodation for most of our schools. You can preview the facilities on the “Accommodation” tab of the school page. The majority of our students choose to stay in the EBS accommodation as it is the best way to integrate with your fellow course mates and get the true EBS experience! You can choose not to stay in EBS accommodation if you are local to the school or have pre-arranged accommodation.

You will need money for food and drinks at your destination. Some schools offer food packages so you can have your meals prepared and cooked for you at your destination, all for a great price.

The schools also arrange other activities for you to enjoy outside of school hours that incur a cost, it’s good to put some money aside for these as well.
