TIPS Training Suits Your Needs

If you work at any establishment where alcohol is consumed or sold, you will be pleased to know that Kingsley Associates is holding local training sessions to assist servers and sellers of alcohol in the prevention of illegal sales to underage and/or intoxicated patrons and the prevention of drunk driving.

Participants will be certified in the Training for Intervention ProcedureS (TIPS) program, the leading national server training program.

TIPS workshops are tailored specifically to different kinds of establishments

The TIPS On-Premise Workshop is for servers at restaurants, bars, hotels or any establishment where alcohol is consumed on-premise. Employees learn strategies for serving alcohol responsibly while providing improved customer service. The On-Premise Workshop lasts five hours.

The TIPS Off-Premise Workshop addresses the sale of alcohol at grocery stores, convenience stores and package stores. Clerks learn to prevent illegal alcohol sales to underage or intoxicated patrons. The Off-Premise Workshop lasts three hours.

Certified for 3 years upon successful completion of the TIPS program, these professionals work primarily within the hospitality industry, non-profit, local government, & educational institutions and including:

Restaurant/Bar managers

Others involved in serving alcohol

All servers who attend these workshops are taught by certified TIPS trainers who use video and printed materials for topics that include:

behavioral cues
blood alcohol content
absorption rate factors
effective responses

checking IDs
state-specific information
documenting incidents.

Participants will gain significant confidence as they learn:

How alcohol affects us
Evaluation of cues such as mood, gender, rate of consumption, and other drug use
Understanding Absorption Rate Factors
How and when to intervene safely
How to create a responsible environment

The goal is for alcohol vendors/servers to recognize signs of intoxication, prevent alcohol sales to minors, and intervene with patrons who already are intoxicated. TIPS addresses situations encountered every day, and is customized to meet state and local requirements and individual vendor/server needs. During the server session, with its lively interactive format, staffs learn practical, common sense approaches to selling and/or serving alcohol responsibly in any setting, thus helping to reduce liquor liability exposure.

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

Kingsley Associates strongly encourages all servers and managers to take TIPs training, offered at many locations. To get the hottest jobs in the best clubs and restaurants, it is often required that a server or bartender come in as a TIPs certified professional. Many places won't even look at your resume if a TIPs certification is not on it. (hint: if you have this, put it near the TOP of your resume.)

Kingsley Associates offers TIPs classes for all serving professionals. If you employ professionals that serve alcohol, you may contact us to have an instructor come to your location to certify your entire staff.
