About the Program
Why ServSafe® Alcohol?
Over the years, we have taught many responsible alcohol programs such as the TIPS Server Training Program and the Barcode program, but we feel the ServSafe Program by the National Restaurant Association is the best.
ServSafe Alcohol is a real-world preparation for any situation. Responsible alcohol service is an issue that touches your business, your customers and your community.
That's why the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation developed the ServSafe Alcohol Program to raise the bar in responsible alcohol service training and certification — today's real-world training solution.
Vancouver is home to one of the most celebrated cocktail scenes in North America. From the award-winning craft bars of Gastown to the high-energy Granville Street nightclubs, the rooftop lounges of Yaletown, and the film wrap parties in "Hollywood North," the demand for skilled bartenders here is constant.
