Shaker was first conceived by Managing Director Adam Freeth, as part of his BA and MSc in Business Management and Entrepreneurship. With the dream to provide a realistic and affordable bartender training programme, the idea of the “International Bartender Course” (IBC) quickly became a popular reality. In 2005 a joint venture with Nick Cursi saw Shaker open BarSchools in Cape town, and soon after Johannesburg. With bar schools in the UK and South Africa, Shaker have developed into one of the leading authorities on training and bartending, with a training team offering over fifty years’ industry experience. Anil Sabharwal, who co-wrote the IBC, is a competition bartender based in Shaker’s Cape Town school who has travelled all over the world. His most recent win saw him compete in the Skyy global flair challenge and win the “King of Africa” bartending competition and so confirming his status as one of the best flair bartenders in the world.

Shaker BarSchools training academies offer a wide range of courses for people who want to learn how to make great cocktails. From beginners and enthusiasts through to professionals looking to further their skills on advanced bartender courses, courses at Shaker BarSchools combine the classic with the cutting-edge in cocktail design. Take your pick from Introduction to Cocktails, Molecular Mixology or Introduction to Flair Bartending.
