About the Course
This course is approximately 3 hours in length and provides you with the necessary knowledge and techniques needed to be a responsible seller 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;
- how to intervene when you need to refuse a sale to someone;
- how to prevent and deal with disturbances; how to accurately check IDs and recognize minors;
- how to prevent second-party sales; and

Although training is not mandatory, it can significantly reduce the risk and liability associated with alcohol service. Our certification provides a “reasonable efforts” defense against service violations and civil claims, and it may also reduce your insurance premium costs.
