Is Your TAM Card Expiring? Check Your Expiration Date Online in Seconds

Published on by TAM of NevadaLeave a comment

We’ve all been there: After you complete your training, you put your alcohol awareness card in your wallet or tuck it away in a drawer and forget all about it. But don’t forget, these cards are valid for four years, and then must be renewed.

Do you ever wonder if your alcohol awareness card has already expired? Many people reach out to us with that exact question. If you have an official TAM Card, you can actually find the answer yourself in just a few seconds. Begin by logging into your account on the TAM of Nevada website. Log in with the email and password you used when you first signed up. Once you are logged in to the learning portal, you can see the date when your TAM Card is set to expire.

The same online check works perfectly if you have lost your TAM Card. If you log in and see that your card is still valid, you don’t need to take the training again! You can simply visit our office during business hours to purchase a replacement card for $10. Bring a photo ID when you visit so we can verify your identity and print your new card right away. For more information about replacement cards, you can visit our blog post How to Get a Replacement TAM Card in Three Easy Steps.

If you see that your card is about to expire or has already run out, you can quickly register for your training on the same website. Remember, a TAM Card is valid for four years, but time can go by fast. If your TAM Card is already expired, don’t worry, there is no additional ‘late fee’ on top of the registration fee. Whether you are taking your training early or renewing an already expired card, the price for your official training is just $26.95 and your card will be valid for four more years.

Opening a Restaurant in Las Vegas? Alcohol Awareness Training is Required

Published on by TAM of NevadaLeave a comment

Opening a restaurant in Las Vegas is exciting and fast-paced. Between the usual checklist items such as build-outs, menus, vendors, and hiring, it’s easy to overlook one critical requirement that can delay your opening or put your license at risk: Mandatory alcohol awareness training and TAM Cards® for your entire staff.

Here’s what every new restaurant owner in Las Vegas should know:

Alcohol awareness training is required by the state of Nevada for all employees who sell or serve alcohol. This includes:

  • Bartenders
  • Servers
  • Managers and supervisors
  • Anyone else involved in alcohol sales and service such as security guards and delivery drivers

Alcohol awareness training ensures your staff knows how to:

  • Check IDs correctly
  • Prevent service to minors and intoxicated guests
  • Handle difficult alcohol-related situations
  • Help protect your business from fines and citations

Without properly trained staff, your restaurant could face safety issues or costly fines. This is the last thing you want to worry about when you’re just opening your doors to welcome new customers.

Timing Is Everything With your Grand Opening

When you’re gearing up for opening day, the last thing you want is:

  • Employees scrambling to find individual alcohol awareness classes
  • Inconsistent training across your team
  • Issues scheduling staff because their training isn’t complete

That’s why it’s smart to handle alcohol awareness training early and all at once.

On-Site Training: One Team, One Class, Zero Hassle

To make things easy for new restaurants, TAM of Nevada can come directly to your location and train your entire staff on-site.

Benefits of on-site training include:

  • Training your whole team together, at the same time.
  • Less downtime and fewer scheduling headaches.
  • Assure that your staff is fully compliant and trained on the Techniques of Alcohol Management – the first choice for business owners across Nevada.

We offer this option for busy restaurant owners who need things done right the first time.

Set Your Restaurant Up for a Strong Start

We all know that Las Vegas is a competitive market, and first impressions matter. Proper TAM Card training doesn’t just check a legal box, it also helps protect your business, your liquor license, and your reputation from day one.

If your restaurant is opening soon, now is the perfect time to schedule training and cross one major requirement off your list.

Reach out today at [email protected] or 702-545-6664 to schedule an onsite class and get your team ready for opening day.
