What is Bora Formar: Garçons?
Bora Formar: Garçons is a 100% online and free training course designed to build a solid foundation in customer service, drink service, and hospitality concepts. In straightforward language, it combines technical fundamentals with practical tips that can be applied in the next work shift. The proposal goes beyond “teaching to serve.” The course covers the history of beer and production processes, helping professionals explain the product, suggest pairings, and conduct consultative sales without sounding forced.
Another differentiating factor is the focus on service procedures: posture, organization of the dining area, best practices in handling cups and bottles, in addition to service techniques that enhance the customer experience and directly impact tips and customer loyalty.
Finally, Ambev’s course also includes a block focused on employability, with guidance on resumes, selection processes, and interviews, serving as an essential bridge between learning and hiring.
Who Can Participate and Requirements
The 5,000 slots in Ambev’s free course are aimed at people over 18 years old from any region of the country. This makes the course accessible to both those already working in the field and those who want to start from scratch. The expected workload is four hours, organized into four short modules that can be taken from a computer or cell phone, with no bureaucracy.
Since it is online, there is no need for commuting. This makes it easier for those who are employed and need to study during breaks between shifts.
At the end, participants receive a certificate of completion, a document that can be included in their resumes and professional profiles, reinforcing credibility and organization.
