Industry-standard responsible alcohol service certification. Since 1978 we have trained thousands of bartenders in the Toronto area.
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.
Toronto is one of the world's most culturally diverse cities — and its bar scene reflects it. From the rooftop bars of King West and the craft cocktail lounges of Kensington Market to the high-volume sports bars near Scotiabank Arena and Rogers Centre, the range of hospitality opportunities here is unmatched in Canada.
