Worth Every Penny

Spent money on it and honestly felt like I got more value than expected. Covered all the bases and made me feel fully prepared to serve responsibly.

Excellent Learning Tool

I really enjoyed how the course balanced legal knowledge with common-sense practices. The examples felt real, not scripted. Definitely worth taking.

Meets Industry Standards

The course was compliant with what our employer required. Easy to pass and the lessons were clear. I?d take it again if needed.

Excellent for Busy Workers

I completed the course in the evening after work. It didn?t feel like a chore thanks to the clean layout and interactive parts. I recommend this to coworkers who want something fast and efficient.

Good But Not Perfect

Overall, the course was good. A few minor bugs in the interface and some sections loaded slowly. But the content was helpful and the certification is legit.

Professional and Respectful

I?ve taken a few training courses in my career, and TIPS Alcohol is among the best. Everything felt thoughtful and structured?not rushed or slapped together. Great course for anyone in the industry.

Great for First Job in Service

I was nervous about taking a certification course online, but this worked out way better than I thought. TIPS Alcohol walked me through each scenario I might face and gave solid guidance. I passed the test on the first try and got my certification right away. Easy to recommend to coworkers.

Clear, Consistent, and Thorough

From login to final exam, TIPS Alcohol delivered a seamless experience. Every module was carefully written and easy to understand. I really liked how they emphasized customer safety and legal awareness without sounding preachy. As someone new to bartending, it helped me feel a lot more confident and capable.

Very Practical and Well-Made

What impressed me most about TIPS was the focus on practical, real-world scenarios. They don?t just tell you the rules?they show how to apply them in bar or restaurant settings. I walked away feeling more prepared, not just certified. There?s room to improve in design and visuals, but the actual content is very strong.

Best Online Training I?ve Used

TIPS Alcohol stands out for how organized and easy-to-use their platform is. The course was clear from the start, and the structure made it feel manageable?even with a busy schedule. Each section built on the previous one, and the mini-quizzes helped me remember what I learned. The best part was being able to go at my own pace. I could pause when needed and return without losing my place. The final test was fair and tested real understanding, not just memory. Getting the certificate immediately afterward was great. Highly useful course!

Just Enough Info

Covers all the basics without going too deep. Gets the job done. Certificate works for my employer so no complaints there.


img 5/5.0 14, Oct 2024

Top Notch Content

The training was better than expected. The examples were practical, the instructions clear, and the system never lagged once. Certification came fast, too.


img 4/5.0 01, Oct 2024

Quick and Convenient

TIPS Alcohol offered exactly what I needed. The course was short but informative. Took it on a weekend, passed the test, and had my cert ready for my Monday shift.


img 5/5.0 18, Sep 2024

Makes You Think

This course actually got me thinking more critically about how to handle difficult customers. It's not just rules and laws?they give you real strategies to avoid conflict and stay professional.


img 4/5.0 05, Sep 2024

Works on Any Device

I used my tablet to complete the course, and everything ran smoothly. No weird resizing issues or errors. Took me about 2 hours total. Content was a little dry but useful.


img 5/5.0 23, Aug 2024

Straight to the Point

One of the better online trainings I?ve done. Everything was focused on real situations you?d actually deal with. The final test made sense and was fair. Also appreciated the option to print my certificate immediately.


img 3/5.0 10, Aug 2024

Decent Online Option

It wasn?t the most exciting course, but it worked. The content is there, the instructions are clear, and the certification is valid in my state. I wish it had more visual elements though. Just a lot of reading.


img 5/5.0 28, Jul 2024

Helpful and Efficient

The whole thing?from signup to certification?was a smooth experience. The modules were well-paced and informative. I liked that they emphasized both laws and real-life situations. Got my certificate right away after finishing. Would use it again.


img 4/5.0 15, Jul 2024

Good for Refresher Training

As someone who already had bartending experience, this course was a great refresher. It focused on all the key areas?checking ID, recognizing intoxication, legal responsibilities?and kept everything up to date. Could?ve used more video examples, but overall it was worth the time and money.


img 5/5.0 02, Jul 2024

Clean and Organized

TIPS Alcohol made the certification process super simple. The website layout was clean and easy to use, and I appreciated the straightforward instructions. The content was detailed without being overwhelming. I especially liked how they broke things up with small quizzes to reinforce the lessons. I finished it all in a single sitting.


img 2/5.0 19, Jun 2024

Cluttered Layout

The interface is not clean?hard to focus with everything crammed together.


img 1/5.0 06, Jun 2024

Didn?t Receive Certificate

Took the test and passed, but no certificate was emailed. Still waiting.


img 2/5.0 24, May 2024

Audio Issues

The audio randomly cut out on a couple of lessons. No fix even after reload.


img 3/5.0 11, May 2024

Mediocre Value

It?s okay if you need the cert, but I wouldn?t take it again by choice.


img 2/5.0 28, Apr 2024

Confusing Structure

Hard to tell which module I was on. The progress bar wasn?t accurate.


img 1/5.0 15, Apr 2024

Trouble With Exam

The final test glitched and made me restart. Lost a ton of time.


img 3/5.0 02, Apr 2024

Just Average

Nothing really wrong, but nothing exciting either.


img 2/5.0 20, Mar 2024

Too Long-Winded

The lessons could be cut down by a lot. Too much fluff.


img 1/5.0 07, Mar 2024

Unexpected Charges

I was surprised by an extra fee at checkout. Not mentioned upfront.


img 2/5.0 23, Feb 2024

Needs Updates

The UI is outdated and not intuitive. Not what I?d expect in 2025.


img 3/5.0 10, Feb 2024

Okay, but Lacking

It worked, but I?ve seen better platforms. Kind of clunky.


img 2/5.0 28, Jan 2024

Didn?t Meet Expectations

Heard good things but wasn?t impressed. Glitchy and not very informative.


img 1/5.0 15, Jan 2024

Poor Communication

Didn?t get a confirmation email after signing up. Had to email support just to start.


img 3/5.0 02, Jan 2024

Too Many Repeats

Kept repeating the same points over and over. Felt like filler content.


img 2/5.0 20, Dec 2023

Not Engaging

Lots of text, not much variety in how it?s presented. Was hard to stay focused.


img 1/5.0 07, Dec 2023

Login Problems

I got locked out after one attempt and resetting the password didn?t work. Really annoying.


img 3/5.0 24, Nov 2023

Basic and Boring

Covered the essentials but in a really bland way. Could use some videos or interactive elements.


img 2/5.0 11, Nov 2023

Not Mobile Friendly

Tried to do the course on my phone but it kept freezing. Had to switch to desktop.


img 1/5.0 29, Oct 2023

Support Is Slow

I had an issue logging in and it took a full day to hear back from customer service.


img 2/5.0 16, Oct 2023

Course Felt Dated

The course content looks like it hasn't been updated in years. Very dry, and mostly text.


img 2/5.0 03, Oct 2023

Frustrating From Start to Finish

Signing up took longer than it should?ve, and the confirmation email went to spam. Once I finally got in, the course ran slowly and crashed midway through a module. I had to clear my cache and restart the entire process. The material wasn?t bad, but the platform itself is a mess. It made the whole thing more stressful than necessary.


img 1/5.0 20, Sep 2023

Certification Delay

I finished the course, passed the test, and expected the certificate immediately as promised. Instead, I waited two days and had to contact support twice to get it. Not ideal when I needed it for work. The course was okay, but the admin side really let me down. Will look for alternatives next time.


img 2/5.0 07, Sep 2023

Overpriced for the Quality

For the amount they charge, I expected higher production value. The slides looked outdated, and there were a few typos sprinkled throughout. The course did cover the basics, but not in a way that held my attention. Also, the final test was weirdly structured?some questions didn?t even seem related to the modules. Didn?t feel like money well spent.


img 1/5.0 25, Aug 2023

Major Tech Problems

Tried taking this course on my phone, but the pages kept freezing. Then I switched to a laptop, and the audio wouldn't load on a couple of sections. Support didn?t reply until the next day, and by then I had already wasted hours. The exam locked me out once too. Never going through this again.


img 2/5.0 12, Aug 2023

Clunky Navigation System

I found the TIPS Alcohol course frustrating to use. The navigation isn?t intuitive, and I kept getting logged out randomly. On top of that, the lessons repeated the same points too often, making it hard to stay engaged. The content itself is fine, but the delivery made it feel like a chore. The quizzes didn?t always match the material, either. I had to redo one section three times because the platform wouldn?t register my progress. For a paid course, I expected something smoother and more professional. I eventually finished it, but not without issues.


img 5/5.0 30, Jul 2023

Quick and Clear

Took this for my job requirement and ended up actually learning new things. The layout is great, and I had no technical issues at all. Certificate came through instantly. Solid all-around.


img 4/5.0 17, Jul 2023

Solid Online Option

Compared to others I?ve tried, TIPS was pretty smooth. The course stayed on topic, and I liked the little review questions after each section. Wouldn?t mind a mobile app version though.


img 3/5.0 04, Jul 2023

Decent, Could Improve

Course worked fine and got the job done. A few videos would?ve helped instead of all text. Still, the info was relevant, and I got my card without problems.


img 5/5.0 21, Jun 2023

Very Informative

This course went deeper than I thought. Learned about liability laws and intervention strategies that I hadn?t thought much about. It?s good information whether you're bartending or working events.


img 4/5.0 08, Jun 2023

Got It Done Fast

Managed to complete the whole training in one evening. The site worked fine on my tablet too, which was convenient. Some spelling errors in the content, but nothing that stopped me from learning.


img 5/5.0 26, May 2023

Easy to Navigate

The course layout was clean and easy to move through. Loved the quick explanations and the ability to go back if I needed to review something. Good for anyone with a busy schedule.


img 4/5.0 13, May 2023

Smooth Process Overall

Registration was smooth, and the modules were easy to understand. Some parts felt a bit repetitive, but I appreciate the emphasis on responsible service. The instant certificate download at the end was a bonus.


img 5/5.0 30, Apr 2023

Great for First-Timers

Being new to alcohol service, this course helped build my confidence. The examples were realistic and practical. The final exam was well-balanced too. I feel much more prepared now when dealing with customers.


img 4/5.0 17, Apr 2023

Useful Course Material

The program covers everything clearly, especially about checking IDs and handling tough situations. It was a bit more reading than expected, but nothing overwhelming. I finished it in a couple of hours, and the certificate came through without any hassle. Solid experience.


img 5/5.0 04, Apr 2023

Straightforward and Fast

Signing up for the TIPS Alcohol course was easy, and the content was simple to follow. The quizzes were fair, and I got my certification right after passing. Loved how smoothly everything flowed from start to finish. Definitely useful for anyone entering the hospitality industry.
