Hawaii Online Alcohol Bartender & Seller-Server Certification

The county of Honolulu has more than 1,500 liquor licensed establishments operating within its boundaries. In accordance with a 1993 law, all managers and bartenders working in these establishments must attend a five-hour server training program established and administered by the Honolulu Liquor Commission. Further, they must pass a test based on this program every four years.

Hawaii Responsible Alcohol Seller-Server Training
Hawaii has various laws regulating the legal age an individual needs to be to consume, sell, or serve alcoholic beverages and other regulations regarding the sale and service of alcoholic beverages. Within Hawaii, the legal age to consume alcoholic beverages is 21. There are also rules and regulations regarding what is required to become a bartender in Hawaii.

Honolulu Alcohol Seller-Server Certification
For restaurant licensees, managers and bartenders are required to register with the commission, and to successfully complete the alcohol server training program given by the commission. Certification is valid for four years. A bartender may be issued a certificate of registration for another licensed establishment without retaking the server education course if the bartender had successfully completed the server education course within the past two years. The Rules of the Honolulu Liquor Commission can be viewed on the Web at:

The goal of the Comprehensive Server Training Program is to prevent highway fatalities and injuries caused by impaired drivers. In order to more effectively achieve this goal, Honolulu Liquor Commission members met in 1996 to establish a focused set of objectives including:

Continuing the existing server training program in Honolulu so as to comply with mandatory training required for all managers and bartenders
Develop a quarterly newsletter for distribution to approximately 1,500 licensees throughout Honolulu County
Develop and sponsor a seminar on Juvenile Crime and Integrity Leadership
Create a series of educational handout materials
