All of our classes are conducted in person. Dealing cards is both an art and a skill. Like any art form,
mastering the techniques is key to success. That’s why students must attend in-person sessions where
they gain essential knowledge and, most importantly, practice techniques under expert guidance. In the
near future, Ace Dealer Academy will offer select subjects online.
Anyone capable of performing the essential functions of a card dealer can become one. There are both
objective legal requirements and subjective traits that contribute to success.
Legal requirements:
Must be 21 years or older.
Authorized to work in the U.S.
No felony convictions.
Available to work varying shifts and hours.
Desirable traits:
Strong customer service skills.
Ability to work well with others.
Perform accurately and efficiently in a busy, noisy environment.
Maintain good hygiene and grooming standards.
Our program is designed to be completed in 4 months. However, the duration can vary based on how
quickly students master the techniques. Once the course requirements are fulfilled, students undergo a
final review and, upon satisfactory completion, receive their Certification.
