Our Weekend Intensive is one of our most popular options — and it’s easy to see why. Two full days, Saturday and Sunday, and you walk away Monday morning with a professional bartending certification, a TIPS certification, and a direct line to job placement support at top restaurants, bars, and venues across Rhode Island.
Weekend classes offer the same immersive, hands-on training environment as our weekday options, with an instructor-to-student ratio that ensures you actually get behind the bar and practice — not just watch. This is real training, not a seminar.










When you graduate from Innovative Bar Institute, you don’t just walk away with a certification — you walk into opportunity. These are just some of the top establishments currently employing our alumni across Rhode Island and New England.
