Course Content

Information

Our instructors will use both a student manual and video presentation to cover the basics information about alcohol, its effects on people and effective intervention strategies. Some of the topics include:

• Behavioral Cues
• Blood Alcohol Content
• Intoxication Rate Factors
• Effective Responses
• Checking IDs
• State-Specific Information
• Review


Skills Training

This section is presented in two parts. The participants will watch a series of videos first evaluating the behavioral cues of the guest and then evaluating the effective responses by the server. This allows the participant to use the content provided in the Information section and determine appropriate responses for handling difficult situation that are centered around alcohol.
In each section of video clips the participant will rate either the behavior of the guest or the response of the server. Our instructors will then lead a group discussion on the appropriate rating. It is explained that not every participant will agree on the same rating as there is no one perfect way to handle a situation. Emphasis is on being able to justify their answer based on their training and how they understood the video.

Practice/Rehearsal

The last section of this program is one of the most important. The participants will use the Information and Skills they have learned through role-playing exercises. Our instructors will encourage the participants to use past experiences or they may choose from sample situation listed in the manual. All participants will receive valuable feedback from our certified trainers.
