Shaqwana, a DC radio personality, came to PBS for a hands-on bartending session. The training was everything she expected - fast-paced, fun, and surprisingly realistic. Working behind the bar with real equipment and a real instructor gave her a genuine feel for what the job entails.
Her experience highlights something important about PBS: the training environment is welcoming to everyone, regardless of background or experience level. Whether you are a media professional looking for a fun new skill or someone planning to bartend full-time, the instruction is the same high-quality, hands-on program.
A video of Shaqwana's session captures the energy of a typical class - focused but lighthearted, with an instructor who knows how to keep things moving while making sure every student gets the attention they need.
