The TIPS program was
first developed in 1982 by Dr. Morris Chafetz. Dr. Chafetz was the founding
director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. TIPS
(Training for Intervention Procedures) is now the global leader in education
and training for the responsible service, sale, and consumption of alcohol.
Proven effective by third-party studies, TIPS is a skills-based training
program that is designed to prevent intoxication, underage
drinking, and drunk driving 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. Tips now offers the convenience of obtaining your original
certification or renewing your existing TIPS certification online.
TIPS sessions can be administered through a certified TIPS Trainer or
through eTIPS, an online responsible alcohol training program.
Training conducted by a trainer is implemented through video and printed
materials to facilitate discussion of the course content. Course material is
presented in three sections: Information, Skills Training and
Practice/Rehearsal.
Training conducted through eTIPS is implemented through a
computer and served over the web. The eTIPS
course is a self-paced, web-based program designed for servers at
restaurants, bars, hotels or any other establishment where alcohol is
consumed on the premises. Employees learn strategies for serving alcohol
responsibly while providing the best possible customer service.
TIPS Alcoholic beverage server training is now mandatory in many states. Servers of alcohol must complete the training within 30 days of commencing employment.
