It was a blast from the first time i walked in the doors to be accepted into the school the class was so into it. Since i wasn't working before it was difficult to fork up the 475.00. The day i graduated they told me to run down to a job interview and i had only 45 minutes to run home get changed and get there. Got hired on the spot and worked the next Saturday night made over 200$. It was ridiculous lol... Tripled the total price of the course within the next 2 weeks.. Pros: Fun Atmosphere, Professional, but still very fun! Cons: it was only for 2 weeks =[

After attending Authentic's Philly location, I am very pleased with my results. I have a hectic schedule because I'm in college but every college student wants to bartend to make quick cash a few nights a week. They had all kinds of classes and schedules to specially meet my needs. The instructor was very informative and also made the class comfortable and fun. The best part was every wednesday they take the students to a real bar which they call " bar night". The instructor comes with you in case you need any help, but you are at a real bar making drinks for real customers. All of the hands on experience given was really helpful and after I graduated, they helped me find a job that I was interested in based on my personality and desire. ALL THUMBS UP FOR AUTHENTIC!!! Pros: Helpful way to jumpstart your bartending career Cons: not for people who aren't serious about bartending

It was very helpful for me. I made all of my money back for the cost of the class in a week. Granted there were a lot of students there (many of whom did not want to put in the work), but the school was as accomodating to the students as can be. To be displeased with the school just means that someone was expecting a hand out and not a challenge. The school challenged me thereby making it easy for me to get hired. When I left I left confident. I have since worked at a few bars and I left the school last summer. Thanks authentic! WPP Pros: helpful if you want to help yourself Cons: many students who wanted a license without the work

Took a look at this place b/c I live nearby, but the place is dirty and the staff is nasty and pushy. Teacher sounded like he didn't know what he was talking about
