Forty Bartenders were picked to compete for the Title of the Master Bartender after completing the Master Bartender Academy Training. MBA is Africa’s largest bartending programme run by Diageo, the world's leading premium drinks business and Kenya Breweries Ltd. The training programme to date has taken place in more than 30 cities within Africa, imparting new skills to over 37,500 bartenders.
To
be a Top Master Bartender takes dedicated work and all trainees must
complete three modules. The first module, titled MBA 101 is a one-day
workshop which among others, covers key topics on bartending like
customer service, bartender secrets and responsible drinking. Each of
the Bartender trainees leaves the workshop with a manual and a link to a
mobi-site, to complete the second module - MBA 202.
Once
completed only the highest scoring forty Bartenders are selected to go
through to MBA 303, which is the last module. The 303 module consists of
a full day of training where after several tests the final five are
chosen. The final five complete a live showdown in front of an audience
where one Bartender is given the title as the Master Bartender. All the
MBA 303 finalists receive an MBA certificate together with exclusive MBA
merchandise that includes a special cocktail kit. The Master Bartender
also gets to take home an iPad loaded with exclusive cocktail apps,
$1000 (US dollars) and the title of his/ her city as The Master
Bartender.
