We have a great relationship with all of the area casinos!

We have been a licensed school for over 15 years.  Our bartending and casino school has an excellent reputation throughout the industry.  Local casinos have hired our graduates, and have also hire us to teach hospitality etiquette as well as CPR and T.I.P.S. certify their employees. Our reputation and our relationships with these  casinos solidifies us in the industry. All of our instructors are currently working at these casinos as Floor Managers, Supervisors, and Pit Bosses.
