The Advantages Of TIPS Alcohol Awareness Certification

By Anita Ortega


The dangers of alcohol can be a concern to many businesses and companies where alcoholic beverages are served or sold. TIPS alcohol awareness certification from a local or online company will help provide employees with the tools and skills they need to be able to handle any situation dealing with over indulging, underage drinking and preventing DWI (Driving While Under the Influence)tickets. The company itself will be somewhat protected from legal repercussions if an incident occurs. This TIPS (Training for Intervention Procedures) will help increase the awareness of employees and give them correct procedures to follow in many different scenarios.

There are several different classifications of this training. On premise courses are for individuals such as bartenders, restaurant and bar managers, and servers at bars, clubs, restaurants, and private clubs. Off premise training is for store clerks and managers at supermarkets, corner stores, and gas stations. There are even classes geared specifically for employees who work in the gaming portion of the industry at locations such as river boats, casinos, and racetracks.

The course can be taken in either a classroom setting or online. The online course is usually less expensive while the interaction in a real classroom can be very beneficial and information retained longer. The option you choose will depend on the availability of a live class, your budget and the time you have available to attend and take the final test.

Information on how to react to guests and customers who may have over indulged and how to be proactive in preventing these situations is portrayed in these classes. Other necessary skills such as learning how to read ID's and tell if they are fakes are also covered. Students also learn the basics of customer service skills and how to talk to individuals with tact and respect.

The cost of the class, whether online or live, is very reasonable. It usually falls within the $15 to $20 range and discounts are usually offered for large groups. Businesses will often be too happy to pay for this expense for their employees as it can benefit them greatly. It is usually good for two to three years and then the class needs to be completely retaken as laws, procedures and rules may have changed.

Having this type of education can even make an individual more marketable when seeking a new job. Employers will recognize the initiative of the job candidate and will not have the extra expense and time of providing the training if he is hired for the position available.

Individuals will find that the benefits of this in-depth training will assist them in their everyday work lives. They will be more conscious of the implications of their choices as well as those of customers and guests. Prevention may become more important so reactions to difficult situations occur less often.

Peace of mind will be provided to all who choose to become better educated on alcohol awareness subjects. Companies may receive some insurance breaks and legal protection if their employees are trained and certified. Awareness levels will be heightened overall and the entire business will benefit from this critical knowledge.
