Is this a "TAM" Card? Is it state certified?

"TAM" has become a slang term for Alcohol Education Cards. The trademark TAM ® is owned by TAM of Nevada, Inc. and stands for Techniques of Alcohol Management. This is a company that had a monopoly on issuing Alcohol Education Cards.  In July 2007 the state of Nevada gave authorization to Ace Bartending Academy to offer the course online via this web site. Cards are valid state-wide and are valid for a period of 4 years.

Photos on Cards / Card Design Requirements

Photos are not required on the face of the card. The cardholder name, ID#, issue date, expiration date, issuing name are the only items that must be present.
