Nightclub and Bar Security

Anyone who has been to a bar, pub, casino, or nightclub knows there is always a line with someone checking you at the door. While some may find bouncers to be annoying, their job ensures that everyone entering is safe and legally allowed to be there. Being a bouncer comes with many responsibilities and can be dangerous work too.

With the rise in violence in clubs, bars, and other tourist/nightlife attractions, it has become more of a business need than a liability to hire bouncers. This means new laws, regulations and even certifications are becoming the standard and not a preference when hiring.

Those who make the effort to learn about what it takes to be the gatekeeper of clubs and bars often benefit from a deeper understanding of the job. The United States may not have a federal doorman license standard like Ireland or the United Kingdom, but each state, county and even city will have some regulations in respect of bouncers.

With this course, you will learn what a bouncer is, the job requirements, necessary skills, and much more.

You Will Learn:

  • About bouncers, how they differ from other security professions and job requirements
  • The skills needed for bouncers to ensure a safe and secure environment
  • Regulations, laws and what a bouncer can and can’t do
  • About the many challenges, risks and even perks that come with being a bouncer
