What Is TIPS?

The TIPS (Training for Intervention ProcedureS) program is designed to teach servers, sellers and consumers of alcohol to prevent intoxication, drunk driving and underage drinking. The program is taught by a certified TIPS™ trainer, using video and printed materials to facilitate discussion of the course content. Jeanne has been a TIPS trainer for 5 years and has worked with hotel and restaurant professionals throughout the United States.  That's one of the benefits of TIPS... certification is mobile.

TIPS is a practical, common sense approach to preventing irresponsible alcohol service and consumption. This training helps guests who are drinking from hurting themselves, injuring others or damaging property.

There are nine versions of the TIPS program.  d’Orleans Hospitality Training offers the On Premises version which addresses needs specific to bars, restaurants and full service hotels.  We strongly advise all servers and managers (including MODs) to participate.

Each TIPS™ course consists of three sections:

Ø      Information

Ø      Skills Training 

Ø      Practice/Rehearsal

At the end of each program, we administer a multiple-choice exam, which is sent to Health Communications, Inc. for grading and record-keeping. Students who pass the exam receive a certification card,  which is valid for three years. It is transferable throughout the United States .
