Cost of Bartending School: MD, DC, VA and Nationwide

The tuition at PBS is moderate by trade school standards - roughly the same as a semester's worth of college textbooks - and the return on investment is fast. The tuition has remained the same since 1987. Many graduates find that they start earning back the cost of the program quickly once they begin working. Compared to other forms of professional training, the time from enrollment to earning potential is hard to beat.

PBS offers interest-free payment options to make enrollment accessible. The program also includes lifetime placement assistance and free refresher classes - meaning your initial investment continues to pay dividends long after you graduate. Graduates who trained 18 years ago still come back for refresher classes at no cost. If you need to brush up on skills after time away, you can return at no additional charge.

The school has been operating since 1968, which means the pricing reflects decades of refinement. There are no hidden fees, no upsells for advanced modules, and no pressure to buy supplementary materials. You pay for the program, you complete the training, and you have a skill that earns money immediately.
