Quebec Certification Online
Courses may be taken online. However, an in-person final exam will be followed by a proctor.
LBS certification is valid throughout Quebec. Quebec accepts our online certification. The control board does not require a proctored exam, which means you don’t have to sit in front of a person to take the test. The test will take about half an hour. Additional proctoring fees apply. These fees are not included in the cost of the course.
-
• The average wage is $15.17 for a bartender in Quebec.

• 60% of bartending industry employers in Quebec recruited new bartenders in the past 2 years.
On-Premise and Off-Premise Quebec Alcohol Beverage Control Cards (ITHQ) Offered Here
Bas-Saint-Laurent, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Capitale-Nationale, Mauricie and Estrie require all servers to be trained and require all servers have an Alcohol Education Card. Many non-serving positions will also require a card even if you are not serving alcohol. Just being in the same establishment can be enough of a reason to get a card. Training is optional in all other counties, but a proctor is required to get the hard plastic Alcohol Education card.
Our students sit at the bar and watch our qualified instructors prepare and explain each drink in front of them. Our students then spend the rest of their class making the drinks behind an actual bar under the close supervision of our instructors.
