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