California Responsible Alcohol Bartender & Seller-Server Service (On/Off Premise) Training
California LEAD (Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs)Program
The LEAD Program is a free, voluntary prevention and education program for retail licensees, their employees and applicants. It began on January 1, 1991 with a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety. Since February 1995, the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has funded the program. Since 1991, the LEAD Program has trained over 100,000 people. The curriculum is designed for licensees, managers, and employees. There is no separate management curriculum. The LEAD Program provides the licensee and applicant with practical information on serving alcoholic beverages safely, responsibly, and legally, and preventing illicit drug activity at the licensed establishment.
California RBS (Responsible Beverage Service) Training Provider Program
The California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) launched a new program in September 2006 to update standards for Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) programs used to train people who sell or serve alcoholic beverages in California. The RBS Training Provider Program is voluntary as California law does not mandate applicants, licensees, or their employees to attend RBS training. However, the penalty for violations, as articulated in Rule 144, may be mitigated if the involved seller/server has previously attended a certified RBS training program. Some local jurisdictions mandate RBS training for servers, managers, and/or other staff.
