TAOS Series II
TAOS Series II
Series II takes your bartending beyond the foundations. Develop more advanced technique, creative bar thinking and the professional understanding needed to grow your value behind the bar.
What Series II Is About
Master Control, Consistency and Confident Bar Preparation
Series II helps bartenders improve the technical control, preparation and consistency needed for stronger professional performance. Building on earlier foundations, the course explores how better organisation, clearer methodology and precise execution can improve speed, quality and confidence during real service.

What is Series II about?
Series II builds on the foundations developed earlier in the TAOS journey, introducing more advanced bar technique, creative working methods and a stronger understanding of professional value behind the bar. The course helps bartenders refine how they prepare, organise and execute their work, while developing greater control, consistency and confidence during service. Learners explore how technical skill, creative thinking and professional judgement work together in real bar environments. By strengthening both craft and decision-making, Series II helps bartenders approach service with more structure, respond more effectively under pressure and continue developing into more capable, confident and valuable professionals.
Should I take Series I before Series II?
Series I is recommended before Series II because it introduces the creative foundations, core techniques and professional thinking that the second course develops further. Starting with Series I creates a clearer learning progression and helps you get more value from the advanced methods covered in Series II. However, experienced bartenders with a strong understanding of professional technique may be comfortable beginning with Series II.
What skills will I learn?
Series II develops the advanced practical skills needed to work with greater control, consistency and confidence behind the bar. You will learn how to improve preparation, organisation, technical execution and decision-making during real service. The course also explores creative bar methods, professional methodology and the small details that influence speed, quality and reliability. By the end of Series II, you will be better equipped to perform under pressure, maintain higher standards and bring more value to a professional bar team
Who is Series II for?
Series II is designed for bartenders who already understand the fundamentals and want to develop more advanced technique, stronger professional habits and greater confidence during service. It is especially useful for working bartenders who want to improve preparation, consistency, efficiency and decision-making behind the bar. Experienced learners can also use the course to refine their methodology, strengthen weaker areas and bring more control and value to their role.
Should I buy Series II or All Inclusive?
Series II is a good choice if you want to focus specifically on advanced technique, preparation, consistency and professional performance behind the bar. The All-Inclusive Bundle is better suited to learners who want the complete TAOS pathway, with access to Series I through V in one connected programme. It allows you to develop across a wider range of skills and continue progressing without choosing each course separately.
