TIPS Certification, ServSafe & Serving Alcohol
You probably heard of all three of these responsible alcohol seller server training courses. It's often asked of us, do you offer tips certification? The answer is, Yes, we do offer Georgia responsible alcohol server certification.
It’s important to note that Tips certification, ServSafe, and Serving Alcohol are not a “type” of training certification. Instead, all three are “brands” of responsible alcohol training recommended by most employers and businesses. Think of how some people will ask for a Kleenex instead of a tissue. Kleenex is a brand of tissue, not a type of tissue.
Some employers may tell you to get your Georgia Tips certification or ServSafe certification. You are not locked into taking any one of these specific training providers. You can choose which responsible alcohol seller server training course you want. Just like you can buy the various brands of tissue at the store.
For over 35 years, Serving Alcohol has trained hundreds of thousands of people, their employers, and businesses. Our Georgia Serving Alcohol course specifically addresses Georgia alcohol laws, regulations, and rules. For this reason, many businesses preferred our Georgia alcohol server training for their staff members. We are one of the very few training providers that are state-authorized for Georgia alcoholic beverage delivery certification.
