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).

Awesome
It would be a lot better if you weren’t forced to watch all 50 min of videos.
no
Taking course with AAA is easy and accessible. It also give me time to study more because i can go back to the module for easy access of studying and reading
For a mandatory course..it was pretty good.
super easy and cheap
Videos were informative and easy to watch. Test was straightforward.
FatTom si an acronyms that highlights 6 stages bacteria can grow faster in food. These are:
Food – Acidity – Temperature – Time – Oxygen – Moisture.
While all of them are very important to know, for me the stand out one is Temperature. It shows you the diffence between the cooking temperature, the fridge temperature and the danger zone temperature which are some key elemeents to know in order to prevent the growth of bacteria in food.
Comprehensive but easy to follow and understand
It was incredibly hard to stay focused after the 1 hour mark and feel if I didn’t already do food handling training before, I would have struggled with the exam.
It was a good training that was easy to understand and comprehend.
I recently completed the AAA Food Handler Course, and it was an excellent experience! The course was well-organized and easy to follow, with clear explanations of food safety, hygiene, and handling practices. I especially appreciated the practical examples and visual aids, which made it easy to understand important concepts like TCS foods, temperature danger zones, and proper thawing methods.
The interactive quizzes helped reinforce the lessons, and I felt confident applying the knowledge in a real-world kitchen setting. Overall, the course was engaging, informative, and very user-friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their food safety skills and meet certification requirements.

i was fascinate and really satisfied with this course and program, is the best that you can found and the school program is amazing. Thank you weary much. 10/10 for everything
Well done and informative. Its a little longer then I thought at firest, but really drives home the iformation.
I like the explanation way they did
I’m thankful there wasn’t a bunch of fluff but enough context to make everything make perfect sense. This is my first time taking a Food Manager course and this one was clear and helped me feel confident for my exam. My only critique would be that it would have been nice to see how much time I had left or how many slides/modules I had left so I could have planned my day better. I ended up having to take the course over 2 days because I did not allow enough time on the first day.
GREAT LAYOUT – EASY TO FOLLOW
Straight forward easy to understand

The demonstration muddied the waters between criminal offenses and license revocations regarding server to client interactions. The program gives off the impression that business owners will do whatever it takes to distance themselves from irresponsible servers and forego accountability to avoid repercussions when it comes to the employees they license to serve alcohol. Many of the questions on reviews involved answers that were deemed incorrect when the trainee is directed to choose a revocation of employees’ license or potential criminal charges based on the employee’s actions, revocation being the correct answer. The trainee should not be inclined to choose between two answers that are deemed as nuanced when both outcomes are possible.
Lots of info but presented well

Just when I thought this course would never end…it did. I learned lots of information I will never forget. The course is pretty much common sense but you will need to take notes on things you aren’t sure of. I only had to do one course twice but I knew what I had gotten wrong and I got 100% on the next go round.
Great Deal and easy and fast!
My training cousrse is informative, it’s fun and challenging
The review was nice.
