It is a fact! We discovered a hidden bar in a basement in the province of Famagusta. The well-hidden "secret" is located in the center of Sotiras and in fact under an... educational center!
However, this is not an ordinary bar or some... secret entertainment center, but a unique career opportunity and indeed the first of its kind in the whole of Europe.
What is Barology?
The Barology which is also the title of the whole project, is an opportunity to build your career in the field of Bartending and Barista in a recognized and certified branch of study and in fact the first in Europe.
In particular, Barology is part of the recognized and certified study programs offered by the largest institution of Higher Education in Famagusta Province and is none other than the Internapa College which is located in Sotira Famagusta and in recent years has completely changed its image and philosophy, with upgraded premises and new study programs with a state grant. In fact, for the purpose of the course, in order to offer the best experience to the students, a modern bar area has been created, so that the education becomes experiential and more immediate.
During the course, which offers a one-year Certificate in Bartending (60ECTS), the trainee will discover with the well-known professionals of a recognized course 16 courses and an internship opportunity in one of the 10 best bars in Europe! The courses focus on the philosophy of the catering industry and specifically the professionals who are behind the bar, with the history of bartending, the process, the characteristics, the main trends as well as the legal issues.
