Sports Bars! Get Your RSA Certificate to Work at One!
There are a wide range of bars that exist today, and quite often they have a theme or a style to them that defines them, and to work at any of them you have to first grab your RSA certificate! A sports bar is one kind of bar that is easily definable, and can bring in a lot of business simply because it broadcasts a lot of sport. The atmosphere at a bar is what people go for, and by creating a sports atmosphere you are essentially attracting a particular crowd to your bar. In this sense, you will have to deliver the atmosphere that they want. You will find that at a bar around mid day, people will expect a more relaxed atmosphere where they can go to simply watch a game, or have a casual drink. As a result, you should always set the mood of the bar to what is expected!
Once I have my RSA Certificate How Do I Create This Kind of Experience/Atmosphere?
There are several ways that you can set up an atmosphere for a sports bar, and the first thing that you have to do is, know your sports! People will expect a bar tender to know his sports so that you can know what games to schedule and you can make general conversation with the patrons. Secondly, you want to get your RSA Certificate, because you cant serve behind a bar without it. Third, you want to get a few large plasma TV sets for the bar with a good connection to all sports channels, so that you can play the games for all patrons! Finally, you want to get some good merch for the bar, which will let people know that it is in fact a sports bar, and will help set the atmosphere.
Where Should I Set Up? After Getting my RSA Certificate
Sports bars are not typically built in areas where there are lots of people out clubbing, and they are usually built in the inner city. So you have to do your research before setting up, as this will mean that you will get more business, and the RIGHT business! You don’t want to end up with a bunch of rampant drunks in the bar! You should also check out this very useful video below as it describes the different types of sports bars in NYC, and gives very good ideas on making good and different sports bars!

Drinking Like A Gentleman or a Lady – RSA Course Teaches
Sometimes when you are out or at an event, you just want to act classy, because taking it back to basics, drinking was a classy thing to do – so let the RSA course help you out! Sometimes you will be required to go to a classy event, and sometimes you will just be acting classy because you can! Either way it can actually be a lot of fun to act with class, especially if everyone else is doing the same thing.
What Can I Wear? Not in the RSA Course!
The choice will no doubt come to your mind, what do i wear to such classy occasions, and the answer is actually pretty clear. You have to suit up. So when you are getting ready to go out, just think, what would james bond wear? He’s always classy right? For the ladies, the suggested attire would probably be a nice, long dress. But there are more things that you can wear than just a suit and a dress. You could even go with the sweater, the vest, the parker or the blazer – just make sure you have a collared shirt on.
RSA Course Online – What is the Standard For Drinking?
At a classy event, one thing that you want to make sure that you do not do, is drink too much. Although an alcoholic beverage, or social lubricant, may make it easier for you to gain confidence, it does not make you look classy one bit – if you drink too much, which the RSA course helps you avoid. You really just want too have a casual drink every now and then and sip it slowly. But remember that it does not look all that classy to drink a beer, so when you are deciding what drink you would like, make sure that you consider all cocktails first as they are generally what people will be drinking at a classy event.

The Behind The Back Toss

Some Fun Bar Items – Not in the RSA Course!
No, you wont find these kinds of fun items in the RSA Course online, but they can be useful to know about when you are working in a bar or restaurant, because fun items lead to a fun atmosphere. But then again, you always have to consider the situation, that you would probably not use novelty fun items in in a more relaxed bar or restaurant, they are really not designed for that. But if you work in a night club that’s really all about fun, then these items could liven up the atmosphere just as you might need. Check out some of these fun items!
Shotz Bar Pack
The ‘Shotz Bar Pack’ is an interesting set of novelty items for your bar that all involve shot glasses. This pack gives you, first of all – 500 shot glasses that are plastic. This is useful firstly, because as the RSA Course teaches, glass shot glasses can be dangerous as glass tends to cut and break, whereas plastic doesn’t. In addition there are 500 shot glass caps, a shot glass tray, a bandolier to carry shots, and a belt for easy access to shots. These also come in different colours, depending on what suits your bar.
The Leather Shooter Belt
A leather shooter belt is exactly how it sounds, it is simply two leather belts that go around and over your chest and hold shot glasses. This adds atmosphere to a bar and adds excitement to serving. Give it a go and see if it adds to the environment of your bar!
Jager Bomb Cups!
That’s right, they are essentially specially designed cups that are designed for jager bombs (red bull and jagermeister). These cups can be easy to use and also mean that there is less chance of glass falling anywhere.
Test Tube Shot Glasses
There are another type of shot glass out there, and they simply look like a test tube. This is interesting and different, it gives people a new way to take shots, and again, they are plastic so they do not pose the danger that you would have with glass shot glasses. These test tubes also come in racks, and add a different type of atmosphere to the bar, one that steps away from the conventional shot glass approach.
Grab your RSA Course Certificate To Use Such Things
Before you can work in a bar and use any of these new tools, you first need to go online and complete your RSA Course, to get your RSA Certificate. This ensures responsibility and safety when serving.

Alcohol Fueled Violence Statistics – Get Your RSA Certificate To Help Stop Them
There are an increasing amount of alcohol fueled violent attacks that are occurring each year, and they are getting more and more dangerous, which is why you need to go online and grab your rsa certificate, to stop this kind of violence. It was reported in Sydney that for every liquor retailer that opened, there would be another 4-5 annual alcohol fueled violence attacks. This is a very alarming statistic and shows just how dangerous people can be under the influence of alcohol, and when they cannot control their actions. The RSA Certificate course fights this kind of aggression by training the sources of alcohol (bartenders, liquor stores salesmen and restaurant workers) to deal with this kind of aggression by not serving people who look like they have already had too much to drink. This means that you have to be able to look out for signs in people that show they have been drinking too much, and when you spot some of these signs, you need to have the audacity to say ‘no’ and not serve them, otherwise they could just end up being another statistic.
How Do I Say No? The RSA Certificate Course Teaches You How
The RSA course online teaches you to deal with all kinds of people, and in a shorter time than any other course, while still being as efficient and straightforward as the other courses. The online course that can be completed at any time tells you how to say no to people. The basics of it are pretty simple though, you always stay calm (NEVER lose your cool), you be polite in all cases, you never try arguing with a drunk, and you stick to your position in not serving someone who has had too much to drink. Don’t let them push you around.
RSA Certificate Course – Is The Necessity Really There?
Yes, the short answer is, yes. You NEED to be able to say no, for so many reasons. If you allow someone to drink too much, they could: Pass out in a dangerous location and be robbed, Overdose on alcohol and require a stomach pump, Attempt to drive home in a drunken state, Start fights with people, Cause public destruction and violence. These are only some of the reasons that you need to control how much people drink, and there are many more reasons that you might see if working in a club or bar. Remember that you are 25 times more likely to be involved in an altercation or fight, if you are within twenty meters of a liquor outlet. Either way, the safest route to take is to complete the RSA Course online, as it will allow you to serve safely and responsibly, in any situation! So get online and grab your RSA Certificate today.
