Hey everyone! I'm looking into getting a TIP (Training for Intervention Procedures) certification in New York and had a few questions I hoped the community could help with.


Firstly, is TIP certification required by law in New York for certain jobs, or is it just highly recommended? I’m in the hospitality industry and want to make sure I'm in compliance, especially since I often serve alcohol.


Also, where’s the best place to get certified? I’ve seen a few options online, but I’d love to know if there are reputable in-person classes or any specific providers you’d recommend. How long does the certification process take, and is it difficult to pass?


Lastly, once certified, does it open up more job opportunities or make you a more attractive candidate in the industry? I’m curious if this certification has helped others here with career advancement.
