Workshop participants with Dawn Reid and Roderick Prescod

The latest batch of students, drawn mainly from a number of properties on the island, completed their training with a competitive drink-making exercise in which Group Two were the overall winners, narrowly defeating Group One. The event was dubbed “a beverage sampling showdown.”
Director of the College Unit, Dawn Reid, said the participants had evidently enjoyed the course. She hoped that they also learnt much and took the occasion to learn from the vast knowledge of the facilitator, Roderick Prescod, of the Barbados Community College.
Mr. Prescod said the course participants were very eager, open and made the whole experience much easier for him, and had done a wonderful job over the period of training. “Throughout the course of the week we did a lot of theoretical work in the mornings; and in the afternoons we were hosted here at Paradise Cove for the practical sessions,” he explained.
The course participants were largely dominated by female bartenders with only two or three males in attendance. Certificates will be awarded in November.
