Which Course Do I Need?
We offer a variety of online TIPS certification courses to fit your role:
- The On-Premise course is for employees who work at restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, and other establishments where alcohol is consumed on-site.
- The Off-Premise course is better for those who work at grocery, liquor, and package stores where alcohol is purchased to go.
- The Concessions course is for those who work at stadiums, arenas, festivals, and concerts. These are typically high-volume events where the focus is on making quick decisions to prevent serving intoxicated or underage customers.
Please confirm with your employer which course is right for you before purchasing.
