Alcohol Awareness Card Training Classes

Las Vegas Alcohol Training Classes

Restaurant Hospitality Institute is approved to teach the alcohol training class required by Nevada Revised Statute 369, for anyone who sells, serves alcohol or works as a security officer.

What is an alcohol awareness card? (RHIAA Card)

Before you can work in Nevada as a food and beverage professional, you must obtain an Alcohol Awareness Card. An Alcohol Awareness Card is required for anyone who works as a hospitality professional or security guard where alcoholic beverages are served or sold. This also includes cashiers or stockers who may verify identifications to handle and sell alcohol.

What’s the difference between an
RHIAA Card and a “TAM Card®"?

Navigating the requirements and conflicting information in order to serve alcohol in the State of Nevada can be confusing and overwhelming. Both the RHIAA Card and “TAM Card®” meet standards required by law. Both have equal compliance creditability when applying for employment. However, only Restaurant Hospitality Institute is a full service approved educational academy approved by the Commission on Postsecondary Education. Definitely no other alcohol awareness cards offer our continuing education or all inclusive restaurant services and networks quite like RHI.
TAM Card® is a registered trade mark of Techniques of Alcohol Management®.

We have two easy methods to obtain required alchohol serving cards:

Effects of alcohol on the body:

Alcohol’s impact on your body starts from the moment you take your first sip. The human body is made up of multiple systems that work together and support each other. Just as a computer works because of the interconnections among its various parts—the processor, memory cards, and storage drive connectors, among others—your body’s systems work in a similar way. When an outside chemical such as alcohol is introduced into these multiple systems, it affects parts of these systems in different ways.

Methods of identifying intoxicated persons:

As a server and seller of alcohol, you’ll need to have the skill of knowing when someone’s drunk. This is because you can get into a lot of trouble if you sell to a person who is already intoxicated. Not everyone will show the same signs of intoxication, but it’s always good to know the most common signs to save yourself from a lot of trouble.

Methods of discontinuing the service of alcoholic beverages to persons who are identified as intoxicated:

Despite the care taken by the bartender or other servers, some guests will become intoxicated. Also, guests may arrive from other establishments already intoxicated. When this occurs, the establishment must refuse or cut-off service to such individuals. The bartender or server are the best judge of the need to cut-off service to an intoxicated guest.
