There are countless reasons why you should be certified to serve alcohol but the #1 reason is liability. The liability associated with alcohol-related incidents can range from fines to incarceration. The best defense is time tested, proven, intervention techniques. The TIPS On Premise certification-training program was founded on these principles over 35 years ago and the program continues to be the leader in responsible alcohol service training & education worldwide.

The On-Premise TIPS certified training is specifically designed for restaurants, bars, hotels, or any location where alcohol is served in open containers for immediate consumption on the premises. The training will provide participants with all the necessary knowledge and tools to prevent intoxication, underage drinking and drunk driving.
