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).

The Class was very Informative. I just wish I would have gotten the results of the test rather then just that I passed so I would know where I went wrong if I went wrong anywhere.
Good information to know
The modules are very helpful. I learned a lot about food handling.

First I appreciate the statement that this was created by a woman and minority owned entity! A lot of information with lots of details.
The course itself is fine—however, it is not very friendly on mobile formats. The audio sometimes cuts out and you have to restart from the beginning. The “optional” tests are not optional, you do have to complete them before being allowed to schedule your exam. I would have completed these anyway but it was a little annoying to be forced to do them when they’re labeled as optional.
The course was clear , simple to follow and covered exactly what I needed to feel prepared for my Food Manager test. I liked the step by step breakdowns and practical examples.
Good refresher for real kitchen work too!
would like to have heard a more even voice sound was up and down
Lots of learning to do and different things I didn’t know
Informative, and easy to use.
The training was very well done in my opinion and easy to follow.
Very good course.
don’t want to do survey
Very informative and easy course to follow!! I recommend this course to anyone who’s looking to start their business.
Love the convenience of completing the training at my own pace. Some of the quiz questions along the way (checking for understanding as you complete each unit of learning) were not 100% aligned to the content in that unit, but easy to figure out.
Passing this test
Very informative and descriptive. Gives me a great understanding of how a restaurant/ food prep needs to be.

Long but easy

I feel this covers more in details of the requirements and laws of being an alcohol server. Definitely one of the better courses I have taken.
Good
Great and easy
Everyone should know this info.
Very easy and informative
It was complete and comperhensive. Not super exicting but did what was supposed to (teach me what I needed for the test).
I noticed that some of the questions asked in a module did not have the information given in that module, but in a later module instead. Course said 1 hour and 30 mins , but is significantly longer.
it was long
this course was super informative and so easy to learn. I really enjoyed the modules.
Dumb you should be honest about the length of the video for people with abusive partners
That’s all I’m gonna say
Good course to take
Very long but informative
it was good
Hard to find your certificate after you complete it.

I spent the last few hours going through all of the sessions and I have learned so much! I feel prepared for the exam.
I was getting tired of listening to to person. And at times I was wanting to read so I go a bit faster and I learn better by visual.
This was the most informative and easy to follow trainings. It was separated in modules that made sense and when topics are separated by modules, it uplifts topics necessary for good food handlers.
Well Organized and informative but precise.
Relatively straightforward
This course was easy, time efficient, and beneficial!
I am so glad I selected this company for training
It was a great course
The Food Handler (or Food Manager) course is a foundational training designed to ensure that anyone preparing, serving, or managing food operations understands how to prevent foodborne illness, maintain sanitation standards, and comply with government health regulations.
It aligns with the FDA Food Code and typically prepares learners for the ServSafe Manager Exam or equivalent certification exams approved by local health departments.
The presentation was well put together & easy to digest. I also appreciated the ability to turn on subtitles.
