eTIPS continues to be the premier online responsible alcohol server training program aimed at preventing underage drinking, intoxication, and drunk driving. It is a self-paced, innovative approach to alcohol server training that allows participants to obtain practical and valuable training anywhere and at any time. In addition to optimizing the eTIPS 3.0 courses for mobile devices, HCI has made several refinements based on feedback received from customers.
