Michigan Alcohol Bartender & Seller-Server Training

On August 1, 2001, the Michigan Liquor Control Commission implemented the new mandatory server training requirement for licensees obtaining a new or transferring more than 50% interest in an existing on-premises license to have server trained supervisory personnel employed during all hours alcoholic beverages are served as outlined in MCL 436.1501(1).

Michigan’s Governing Liquor Authority:

The State of Michigan’s governing liquor authority is the Liquor Control Commission referred to as the MLCC.
Michigan’s Legislature is the body responsible for enacting the state’s alcohol laws.
Michigan is considered a control state.
Responsible alcohol service training is voluntary for employees but mandatory for supervisors. Participation in a training course and certification is only recognized by the MLCC if you go through the Michigan Restaurant Association.
Licensees may be given a responsible vendor designation for their voluntary participation in an alcohol server training program. Contact the MLCC for more information (See below).
Posting of alcohol warning signs is not a state requirement. Local ordinances should be consulted.

This course provides you with all the necessary knowledge and techniques you need to be a responsible server of alcohol. Specifically, you will learn:

how to protect yourself and your establishment from liability;
how alcohol affects your customers; how to recognize the effects of alcohol on your customers;
how to prevent customers from becoming intoxicated;
