TABC Certification Online

What certifications do I need to serve alcohol in Texas?

TABC certification covers what you need to work in the beverage industry. After finishing the course and passing the test, you will receive a certificate of completion and a permit card showing up-to-date TABC training.

How Long Does it Take to Finish My TABC Certification?

For most people, the course takes about two hours. Our online TABC certification training course is self-paced, so you can take the time you need to understand the material and take breaks whenever you want. Plus, the course is available 24/7, so you can access it any time. In this course, you will learn about alcohol laws, alcohol safety, and how to ensure proper alcohol consumption and alcohol compliance at your place of business.

How Long is Your TABC Certification Valid?

Your TABC certification expires two years after the issue date. After that, you’ll need to complete your alcohol seller course again.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You have two attempts to pass the final exam with a score of at least 70%. If you fail, you will need to re-purchase the course and start over. 

How often do you have to get your TABC Certification renewal?  

Your TABC Certification renewal training has to be renewed every two years. The only way to renew it is to retake TABC training. Unfortunately, there's no way to test out or take a shorter refresher training.  

How many questions are on the TABC final exam?

There are 25 multiple-choice questions for the online TABC final exam. This exam will ensure you have had responsible alcohol training when completing your online alcohol awareness training course.

How do I check that your course is approved by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission? 

Our provider ID is #454-508. You can confirm our authorization on the TABC website. We're listed as Learn2Serve.  

Is there a way for my employer to verify my TABC Certification? 

Once you complete your online TABC Certification training course and pass the final exam, we will report it to TABC within 8-9 days. Your employer can then verify your certification on the TABC’s Certificate Inquiry page.  

However, you can also print a copy anytime from your account. If you have any trouble, you can contact customer service at (877) 881-2235 or support@360training.com.   

When does my Texas seller-server course expire? 

Your course will expire one (1) year after you purchase it (the date you submit payment), unless the course itself indicates otherwise. 

For more information about course expiration dates, please read our Terms of Use. 

Again, for TABC Texas alcohol training renewal requirements, you must retake the course every two years.
