Our mission is to train the hospitality industry in safe and responsible beverage alcohol service. The programs provide servers of the hospitality industry with the knowledge to help protect themselves from illegal alcohol service and to promote guests’ enjoyment, while reconfirming industry standard preparation of cocktails.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a bartending license in New York. However, there are certification programs like the ATAP Program which is certified through the New York State Liquor Authority. The Alcohol Training Awareness Program (A.T.A.P.), teaches responsible alcohol service and is included in both the 8-day and 3-day programs.

A.T.A.P. is the New York State Liquor Authority’s Alcohol Training Awareness Program, approved by the New York State Liquor Authority.

 

These programs help licensees to comply with the Alcohol Beverage Control Laws, and emphasize how to stop underage drinking and sales to intoxicated persons. Our goal is to provide a safe environment at licensed establishments as well as preserve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens in our communities. — NYSLA.

 

A.T.A.P certification is a part of our B.A.R. Training, included in all of our programs.
