What are responsible beverage server training courses?
Responsible Beverage Server training is also referred to as the Safe Serve Certification or a Bartender's License. These courses are required to hold alcohol beverage licenses, with some exceptions. They cover alcohol beverage laws, signs of intoxication, safe serving of alcohol beverages, etc. These courses are most often offered by local technical colleges. For further information, contact your local Vocational, Technical and Adult Education (VTAE) school.
Not all responsible beverage server courses are taught by technical colleges. Other courses (see "Training" on the Department of Revenue web site) may be substituted for those taught at VTAE schools, as long as they have been approved by the Department of Revenue or the educational approval board. Make sure of this approval before enrolling in a responsible server course not offered at a VTAE school.
