8 Best Bartending Courses in Singapore (2026)

Bartending courses in Singapore are a different search from a fun cocktail evening. People looking for them usually want a structured syllabus, a recognised course label or a first step towards working behind a bar. This guide covers eight providers whose own pages describe a bartending or mixology course, ranging from a public institute and a continuing-education arm to a career-switch programme and one-day beginner classes. Details such as content, format and eligibility are reported as each provider publishes them, and intakes change often, so confirm dates directly. For relaxed party-style sessions, see our cocktail classes guide instead of this one.

ITE College West lists a part-time Certificate of Competency in Art of Mixology that runs for 14 hours over three days.

Its stated content covers fermented, distilled and compounded drinks, common spirits, liqueurs and bitters, bar tools, glassware and garnishes, and cocktail methods such as muddling, shaking and blending. The page also mentions Singapore liquor licensing and bar design and setup. It labels the course intermediate level and says applicants must be at least 18.

TMC Academy's short-courses page currently lists an Alcoholic Beverage Preparation course among its WSQ offerings. A May 2024 post on the school's own site presents it as a bar-tender course built from three learning units that combine knowledge with hands-on work using bar equipment and tools. The post says the course suits people with a few years of food-and-beverage experience who want to focus on bartending, while adding that newcomers may enrol, and that a Certificate of Completion is awarded through TMC Academy. An older post on the same site describes a one-day Art of Mixology course taught with the Association of Bartenders and Sommeliers Singapore, but that item dates from 2018. Ask the school which course is running now, its dates and the campus.
