Published on by TAM of NevadaLeave a comment

Good news for TAM® students in Mesquite! There are now two separate Mesquite locations to take your alcohol awareness test and obtain your TAM Card. Beginning next Monday, November 2, we will be proctoring exams for online students at Mesquite Gaming every Monday from 2:00pm-4:00pm and every Friday from 8:00am-10:00am at 850 W Mesquite Blvd, Mesquite, NV 89027. Proctoring is by appointment only. To schedule your exam, please call (702) 346-4041.

The process for Mesquite students is simple:

  1. Sign up for the online TAM® class. One of the biggest benefits of completing your training online is that the course is available to you 24/7, any time day or night.
  2. Once you’ve completed the course online, make an appointment and visit Mesquite Gaming for a short exam. There is no additional cost to you to take your exam. Come prepared with a picture I.D. to prove your identity, such as a driver’s license or passport. For more examples of accepted forms of ID, visit the TAM website.
  3. Smile! After you complete your exam, we’ll take your picture for your TAM® Card. You’ll be TAM®-certified and ready to work immediately after passing your exam.

We will also continue to offer alcohol awareness classes and exam proctoring on the third Wednesday of every month at the Virgin River Hotel & Casino in Mesquite. Visit the schedule page of our website for more details and to find a class time that works for you.
