| - In my quest to have a more diverse line-up of jobs than Homer Simpson, one of my more recent gigs led me to TAM of Nevada.
You can take the class either online or in person, but I opted to go in person in case I had any pre-test questions.
It's about a three hour class, and the instructor realizes that it's a long course, so he made sure to pepper the discussion with casual humor, and actually made a lot of the facts and dos/don'ts interesting. I never realized how much precaution and observation goes into pouring/serving drinks. It's definitely changed my outlook on the whole bar process.
The test is easy... as long as you pay attention in class. The instructor makes it pretty clear what you'll need to pay attention to, so as long as you watch the videos, listen, and ask questions, you'll make it through.
Sure, I was a little nervous, but the information is concise, and the instructor was friendly, so at the end of the day, I aced the test, and am now a card carrying TAM member.
When the time comes that you find a job that you will need these skills, the class is manageable and affordable. My only real issue is that I'm not the best early riser, and when choosing the first morning class and then being required to study for anything that early....
Man, there just isn't enough coffee in the world for that.
