DEVELOP YOUR SKILLS:

You may be great at playing cards, but you need to train in the full scope of the profession including dealer performance, professional communications skills and strong management qualities.

The Gatlin Education Services has partnered with several universities throughout the United States, and offers a complete and recognized Casino Poker Dealer Course diploma. These courses are offered online in both English and Mandarin, and are overseen by 10-time winner of the World Series of Poker, Johnny Chan.

This is a highly interactive training program that teaches the methods, techniques and mannerisms of professional poker players and dealers. Student tests and presentations are done by means of a video camera program supplied by the school where students can demonstrate their newly learned skills.

There are several courses available, running from six months to a year with a maximum cost of about $1500. Students graduating with a 70 per cent or more average receive the diploma qualifying them for entry-level positions in the trade. Time, experience and proficiency will develop your skills and qualify you as a Poker Dealer for reputable casinos.
