About This Course
Do You Need TABC Certification for Your Job?
This course is designed for servers, bartenders, clerks, managers, and owners—anyone who serves or sells alcoholic beverages on-premise or off-premise. Many Texas employers require TABC certification for employment.
TABC training provides server certification so alcohol sellers are aware of responsible alcohol service, how to handle an intoxicated customer, and ways to prevent an illegal sale. Whether taking a TABC certification course for the first time or looking for a TABC certification renewal, this is the course you need!
TABC-Approved Course
Our Texas TABC Certification course will get you certified fast. There's no timer, so our online training allows you to work independently. Once you complete the lessons, you'll have two chances to pass the final exam with a score of at least 70%. Then, you'll get your official TABC Certification online, which you can print immediately!
While the state of Texas doesn't require TABC certification to serve alcohol, it is part of many employer requirements.
Learn to Serve Responsibly
This course teaches you how to responsibly serve and sell alcohol to protect yourself and your employer from liability. You'll learn about essential topics such as the definition of blood alcohol content (BAC), how to prevent underage sales, ways to refuse service to an intoxicated person, your responsibilities and obligations under Texas law, and much more.
