City & Guilds has launched a full certification program for professional bartenders in Hong Kong to provide the opportunity for anyone (over 18, natch) who's a bartender looking to better their skills or a rookie interested in the field.

As the UK’s leading vocational education organization, City & Guild offers an Award in Professional Bartending (Cocktails), and this is the first time the bartending award is on offer in Hong Kong. Those who successfully complete the program may also move forward and receive diplomas in other Food & Beverage courses, eventually leading to a diploma in Professional Food and Beverage Service.

The first course offered—covering selecting and using equipment, cocktail specifications, cocktail making techniques, and more—will be available starting mid-June at the Tsim Sha Tsui campus of the YMCA College of Continuing Education. Candidates can register by calling the course hotline 2268-7733.
