What Is TIPS?
Training for Intervention
Procedures by Servers of Alcohol.
TIPS (Training for Intervention
Procedures) is a dynamic, skills-based training program designed to
prevent intoxication, drunk driving and underage drinking by enhancing
the fundamental "people skills" of servers, sellers and consumers of
alcohol. TIPS gives individuals the knowledge and confidence they need
to recognize potential alcohol-related problems and intervene to prevent
alcohol-related tragedies.
If you serve alcohol or employ people who do, more and more of our courts
have a message for you. You've got to do more to stop intoxicated
customers from driving drunk. To help you avoid that risk, and help save
lives, there is a proven training program called TIPS* Training for
Intervention procedures by Servers of Alcohol.
BartenderGirl™ strongly require our staff to take TIPS training.
BartenderGirl™ offers
FREE TIPS classes to our Bartenders, as well as other
serving professionals working with us.
We are determined to be your lowest cost alternative. We will meet or
beat any competitor's price on any of the services that we provide*
*Quote must be written on the letter head of the business, the
business must be licensed and insured.
