ALA-100: Alcohol Awareness Course for Security Professionals
ALA-100 is the Eight Point Solutions Alcohol Awareness Course for Security Professionals, a 4-hour online course for security officers on bar, restaurant, nightlife, venue, event, stadium, hotel, and casino posts, door staff, event staff, supervisors, and anyone whose job is to be looking at guests on licensed premises. Delivered self-paced on the EPS Portal from Lanham, Maryland, the course trains the officer to treat the visibly intoxicated guest as a security matter the moment he is visible: know the law that reaches the door in Maryland and the District of Columbia, know how alcohol works in the body and why the guest who looks fine at the bar is on the floor an hour later, read intoxication by counting cues in four categories, check identification in four steps and catch the borrowed, altered, and counterfeit card, refuse at the door with a rule, a reason, and an option, support the cutoff, run the duty of care at the exit including the guest who is going to drive, recognize alcohol poisoning and call on the first sign, and write the log entry that defends the license. Content is built to cover the subject matter of the alcohol awareness programs approved by the Maryland Comptroller and the District of Columbia Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration; EPS has not applied for approval under either program and this credential is not a Maryland or District certification. Tuition is $25.00. The official ALA-100 Course Syllabus, Version 1.0 is included in Module 1. Five modules cover alcohol and the officer, how alcohol works, reading intoxication, checking identification, and the intervention and the record. Completion requires all five modules, every module quiz passed at 80 percent or higher, the 50-item final examination passed at 90 percent or higher, and the course sign-off. The EPS Alcohol Awareness Certification is serial-numbered, recorded in the EPS registry, verifiable through the EPS Portal, and valid for two years. The credential documents completion of EPS training. It is not a state security license, it does not replace employer post orders, and it does not authorize any use of force or the taking of anyone's property. ALA-100 is governed by EPS-DIR-001 and the ALA-100 Course Syllabus. Built to be taken alongside RBS-100, the EPS Responsible Beverage Service Course. Samuel Romanzo, Training Director.
