This training  will cover the skills needed for all hospitality workers involved in the sale and service of gambling activities in a licenced premise such as gaming machines, Keno, TAB, table games and lotteries.
This course is suitable for those wanting to gain employment in job roles such as gaming attendant, table game attendant, croupier, and multi-skilled food and beverage attendant.
This course is designed:

• to develop skills to confidently and proactively respond to patrons showing warning signs of problematic gambling behaviour and provide the appropriate assistance.
