How Dash Authority compares
Same WSLCB permit. Better way to get it.
Every provider below is WSLCB-approved. Same legal permit. The rest of the experience is… not the same.
| Dash Authority | A+ Server | Craft Serving | TIPS | WA Alcohol Training | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $14.95 | $17.99 | $17.00 | $29.00 | $19.95 |
| Format | Online. Built for the phone in your pocket. | Works best on a desktop, then acts surprised you have a phone. | Feels like it was built once and never touched again. | Feels like 2005. | Slow. Generic. Could be any state. |
| Exam retakes | Unlimited. Free. Always. | They mention it. Then you go hunting for the actual policy. | Not listed like they mean it. | Not even clearly stated. | Buried. If it’s there at all. |
| Instant proof | Right in your student dashboard the second you pass. | They email it. Eventually. Then you go find it. | After you finish. Then you go find it. | After you finish. Check your spam. Check again. | After you finish. Good luck locating the link. |
| Best for | You. | People who already know them and still don’t ask why it costs more | People who think “craft” belongs on a beer list, not a 3-hour state course | People who were told this was the only option and never checked | People who don’t mind a course that forgot which state they’re in |

What students say
Sick of clunky old certification sites that feel like they’re from 2010. Dash Authority was actually enjoyable—clean design, quick videos, and I finished my alcohol server cert in like 90 minutes on my phone during lunch.

I needed my alcohol certification card fast for a new job. This was by far the smoothest online course I’ve ever taken—no glitches, super intuitive, and the quizzes actually helped me remember the important stuff.
