TABC
Certification
- Alcohol
Seller Server Course
 Some
states require alcohol seller/server certification
to ensure that employees understand liquor laws and
act responsibly. This requires a short class approved
by a liquor control board.
The course is focused on the issues surrounding
responsible practices in selling and serving alcoholic
beverages. This course is approximately 4 hours in
length including the final certification quiz. Upon
completion of the entire course and passing the final
quiz, you will receive your Texas Alcoholic Beverage
Commission Seller/Server Certification.
For a very reasonable fee, we also offer a separate, state-specific
alcohol server certification course you can take online that will satisfy
the requirements in most areas. If online course is taken,
the certificate is mailed to your house and comes with
unlimited toll-free support.
