About This Course

This course gives you everything you need to earn your Washington MAST permit quickly and confidently. You’ll learn Washington alcohol laws, proper ID checks, how alcohol affects customers, how to prevent over-service, and how to handle difficult situations to protect both yourself and your establishment from liability. You’ll also master key responsible-service techniques, including recognizing signs of intoxication, preventing disturbances and second-party sales, and safely refusing service when necessary.

Our MAST training includes six essential lessons delivered in a convenient, three-hour online format. You can log in and out anytime, learn at your own pace, and access dedicated customer support if you need help. At the end of the course, you’ll take a short final exam and need a score of 80% or higher to pass. Once completed, we automatically report your results to the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board, and your Class 12 or Class 13 MAST permit will be mailed to you—no extra steps required.

This course is held on a Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) certified third‐party website. If you have any questions related to course access, technical issues, and course content, please chat with Wizmo or send an email to support@360training.com

In Washington State you cannot serve or sell alcohol if you are under 18 years of age. However, if you are within a minimum of 30 days from your 18th birthday you may sign up and complete a MAST Permit course and exam, but you will not receive your permit until you turn 18.
