Education is the best tool to prevent, minimize, or eliminate foodborne illnesses and food hazards.
Training helps reduce or eliminate food safety hazards before they become major issues.
Reducing food safety complaints will create a happier workplace and in turn increase productivity.
The TABC Texas Training Program is an online course designed to educate alcohol servers on responsible alcohol service. It helps meet the legal requirements set by the Texas Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (TABC) and promotes safe, compliant alcohol service practices across the state.
To begin, create an account, pay the registration fee, and register for the course. Once registered, you can start the training anytime and access it online from anywhere.
The Texas Tabc Online Course lasts approximately 1.5 hours and can be completed at your own pace. You can stop and start the course whenever it’s convenient for you.
While participation is currently voluntary, anyone working in the alcohol service industry in Texas—including bartenders, servers, and managers, should complete Alcohol Server Training to ensure safe service and potential liability protection.
To earn your Alcohol Server Certificate, you need to score 70% or higher on the final exam. You’ll be given up to two attempts to pass.
Yes! The Texas Responsible Beverage Service Training is available in both English and Spanish, making it accessible to a wider audience.
You can check your progress through your account, which displays the portion of the course you’ve completed and what’s remaining.
Upon completing the course and passing the exam, you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion available to download instantly as well as by email, verifying your Alcohol Server Certificate.
The TABC Texas training promotes responsible alcohol service, helps reduce the risk of serving minors or intoxicated persons, and supports compliance with Texas Alcohol Laws.
TABC certification isn’t required by Texas state law, but many employers strongly recommend or require it. That’s because it offers legal protection under the Safe Harbor Act. This act shields employers from administrative penalties by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) if an employee accidentally serves alcohol to a minor or intoxicated person—but only if certain conditions are met.
To qualify for this protection:
The employee must not be the owner or company officer.
The employee must have a current TABC certification from an approved school.
All staff involved in selling, serving, or delivering alcohol (and their direct managers) must be certified within 30 days of hire.
The business must have written policies on responsible alcohol service, and employees must read and understand them.
Employers must not encourage or pressure employees to break the law.
Getting certified not only protects your employer, but also helps you make smarter, safer decisions when serving alcohol and interacting with customers.
The TABC Texas Training Program follows guidelines set forth by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code, which outlines all rules related to Alcoholic Beverage Regulation in the state.
The TABC certificate is valid for 2 years.
The training is approved by the Texas Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (TABC).

Being able to go through the information at a pace suitable for me has the BEST for retaining the knowledge provided. The reviews provided at the end of the modules helo to insure that what was taught was understood an additional bonus. Thank you.
Great food safety manager course, The support is excellent.
I found this course to be very educational and informative. I Especially liked learning about Time and Temperature and food borne illness.
I learned a lot of very important facts I never knew or thought could affect my business this program was a self pace course and helped me truly understand the importance of what I really needed to know and I would recommend this program course to anyone that’s looking to learn the right way of being a Food Manager of a kitchen or restaurant!
I would recommend. Easy to understand. Audio is not annoying and the price was the most competitive.
Covers the basics albeit maybe in a more nonchalant way than I’m used to.
good class. easy to listen to
it was a great training tool!!!
A bit pricy for contents but good overall
I was able to learn all about the proper etiquette for a food service setting in a timely manner.
Me gustaron mucho los videos de preparación , muy entretenidos y entendibles.
Easy
I feel as if the videos gave good information and insights about both topics. It will most definitely help me manage my skills more when working in the kitchen .
This was a good experience.
Some of the questions were asked before the module explained them leading me to get some answers wrong, but other than that it was a pretty seamless experience as far as the modules go.
Very informative and easy to navigate.
AI voiceover with stock footage and no significant information.
My proctor was an insane person and when I got disconnected (because of her) I could not get back online. I cant take the exam currently and already reached out to support but will have to do it again to get access to the exam.
Each module was fast and to the point and I appreciate how informative it was!

great info! i learned so much
very good course
good
I was surprised at how much I learned.
The training is very easy to follow and has very clear directions which I appreciate! I agree that some of this training is important, however, it is quite long and some information is quite unnecessary. The titles of the laws and rules and codes, specific names and details of prescription drugs and hallucinogens are a few examples of the unnecessary information.
This informative and general training was very helpful for me. There was a lot I did not know.
Great
The training was simple and easy to follow.
