Does New Jersey law require responsible alcohol server training?
In New Jersey, there’s no state law mandating alcohol awareness training for selling or serving alcohol.
However, many employers in New Jersey require it. That’s because employers that train staff in a responsible alcohol service training program may gain mitigating benefits in the event of a violation. But always confirm any benefits with the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
Additionally, New Jersey doesn’t have a specific list of approved providers. However, you can be assured that alcohol training from Learn2Serve by 360training will teach you how to keep yourself and your employer safe from violations.
How long does responsible alcohol server certification last?
There are no mandated training requirements in New Jersey, so it’s up to your employer or local liquor authority to determine when you need to get recertified.
We always recommend retaking the training course every 2-3 years to get a refresher on the laws and best practices.
Why should I take New Jersey alcohol server training?
Beyond any mitigating benefits to your employer, alcohol training will help you reduce drunk driving by teaching you how to refuse service to someone who's had too much to drink.
That's important because according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a total of 1,816 people were killed in crashes involving a drunk driver in New Jersey from 2003 to 2012.
