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).

I appreciate the concise way the slides were put together, the pace of the narrator, the systematic way the content was organized, the review sections along the way, and hope the structure of the exam follows suit! There are many companies who offer this course, and I don’t know how they compare, but this one was really great.
It was very thorough instruction.
It was boring but good
ビデオでの講義で見直すことができるし、英語字幕もつけれるのでリスニングが苦手な自分には良かった。図解も多いので英語が多少わからなくてもなんとなくわかるし、少し調べればわかるので助かった。
This was a great course, I have learned several new things that we will be implementing in our kitchen. Some of the items do not apply, but it was good knowledge to obtain.
Wow…Definitely longer than the 4 hours they claimed, but very informative.
Loved it.

This course was very informative very easy to follow along. I would recommend AAA Food Handler to anyone that’s needing to take any food establishment course.
I never knew how much my mother taught me, could be applicable in the food industry safety. Some things I always took for granted, as, “okay” were not really so. This training has reinforced some beliefs and changed others for the better, not only in my establishment but at home as well.
Very good training that was easy to understand and clear. The intermittent questions were very helpful to me.
This was amazing and supper informative. Will share this wonderful experience with others in the industry.

This course was very informative and really easy to follow.
This was a well put together course with nice information such as knowing proper drink serving sizes, checking to make sure people are of age and what the correct proof of it is, and also how to politely refuse giving drink and simultaneously help out the customer and business. It was all pretty straight forward stuff to me. Although there were a few specifically worded questions and answers that have tripped me up a couple of times.
Very helpful, thanks.

The videos were hard to get through. I kept falling asleep between them. The voice is worse then my algebra teacher back in middle school. Please change that for others sake.

great staff
Very easy to do and understand
Very good information glad I have the opportunity to take this class.
I enjoyed this course and even learned some new things. You go into it thinking that most of these concepts are common sense, which a lot of it is, but it goes into deeper detail about other aspects that I didn’t even consider
Mimi deserves a raise she is wonderful
