Complete your Responsible Beverage Service training 100% online. Learn alcohol laws, ID verification, and how to serve responsibly. Accepted by employers nationwide.
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.
Our Alcohol Server Training is accepted by employers and regulatory agencies in most states, including:
Some states require state-specific approved programs (e.g., California RBS, Oregon OLCC). Check with your state's liquor authority if you're unsure about specific requirements.
Upon passing the final exam, you'll instantly receive an official responsible beverage service certificate and a wallet-sized permit card — both with a unique QR code that employers and inspectors can scan to verify your certification.
Most bars and restaurants require alcohol server training before your first shift behind the bar.
