ON-SITE BASSET / TIPS TRAINING
Step Solution makes it really convenient to train all your employees on-site at their location so they don’t have travel far. We offer the BASSET & T.I.P.S trainings for groups of 10 or more. Each session features visual aids, interaction, and an opportunity for questions. We do not provide online training.

About Our Training: Each training & testing session is about 4 hours in duration. Upon passing the required test at the end of the training session, your employees will be fully certified and receive their temporary ID card. The State of Illinois will usually mail the official ID card within a few weeks. There’s no age requirement to take the BASSET training, however check your local ordinances as these may vary in each municipality.

ALL seller/server training students must renew their BASSET certification every three years (or less, if so required by local ordinance).

TIPS® is a custom alcohol awareness program and an approved BASSET provider by the State of IL. TIPS® is recognized and accepted for use in other states. Just like the Illinois Liquor Control Commission recognizes TIPS® as the equivalent to BASSET – the TIPS® certification is also valid and accepted in bars and restaurants nationwide.
