Why should you choose Cape Town?
Cape Town is regularly voted as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and with good reason. With an endless number of activities, mouth-watering food and friendly locals, you’ll fall in love with the city in no time.
Go full moon hiking up Table Mountain, surfing in Muizenberg, or skydiving just outside the city for a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Not into adrenaline rushes? Grab a glass of wine straight from the vineyard or a spirit on the rocks from a local distillery like Van Ryn’s. The last thing on your Cape Town list has to be a safari, it’s something you’ll never forget.
The Cape Town school
The Cape Town bartending school is situated in the up and coming suburb of Woodstock. EBS Cape Town is over 400m2 and accommodates up to 36 students, this means you have tons of free space to practice all your bartending moves. The school boasts 12 bar stations, a flair room, a live bar and a theory room. The school has free Wi-Fi, a chill-out area, and a self-catering kitchen. The school also contains a cafe that operates during the day so you can grab a coffee and a bite to eat.
