Who Needs Alcohol Server Training?

An Alcohol Server Certificate (also called a responsible beverage service certificate, alcohol awareness training, or server permit) is required in many states for anyone who sells, serves, or manages the sale of alcoholic beverages. This includes bartenders, servers, cashiers, bouncers, and managers at bars, restaurants, hotels, and liquor stores.

Even in states where it's not legally required, most employers prefer or require their staff to complete alcohol server training before working with alcohol. Completing the course shows that you understand state alcohol laws, know how to check IDs properly, and can recognize signs of intoxication — reducing liability for both you and your employer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Alcohol Server Training?

Alcohol Server Training (also called Responsible Beverage Service, alcohol awareness training, or a server permit course) is a certification program that teaches bartenders, servers, and alcohol sellers how to serve alcohol responsibly. It covers state and federal alcohol laws, proper ID checking, recognizing intoxication, refusing service, and preventing underage drinking.

How long does the alcohol server course take?

Most students complete the alcohol server training in about 60 minutes. The course is entirely self-paced — you can pause and resume anytime. There's no time limit, so take as long as you need.

Do I need an alcohol server certificate for my state?

Many states require alcohol server training by law, including Texas (TABC), Oregon (OLCC), Washington (MAST), and others. Even in states where it's not legally mandated, most employers require it before you can serve or sell alcohol. Our course covers the core topics required nationwide. Check with your state's liquor control authority for specific requirements.

What if I fail the alcohol server exam?

No worries! You can retake the exam as many times as needed at no extra charge. You'll need 80% to pass. The course material stays available so you can review before retaking.

Is this the same as TIPS or ServSafe Alcohol?

TIPS and ServSafe Alcohol are brand-name training programs. Our Responsible Beverage Service course covers the same core topics — alcohol laws, ID verification, recognizing intoxication, and responsible service — at a fraction of the cost.
