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).

This course was quite informative and easy to work through.
Love this training course. It was very useful and helped me learn food safety.
The course itself is fine however the test is where I take issue. A possible answer for one of the questions is, “bacteria __20 minutes__ can multiple every day.” This not grammatically correct and is confusing. At least two questions/answers had horrible wording and should certainly be reviewed. Afterall, we’re paying for an accredited course, grammar shouldn’t be an obstacle.
This course was simple and quick to understand.
I found it very comprehensive and educational.
Very informative
Pretty straight forward.
Great course, will definitely recommend to friends and family.
I am currently looking for a job and this platform made it very easy to get my certificate so I can add to my resume. Was able to finish under 3 hours.
I was pretty good I guess.
It was very easy and straightforward. Some of the sections could be together to shorten the course but overall can’t complain
Muy excelente
A lot of the slides seemed to be missing sound
I review the history, about food service and how to take care of good environment.

This takes an eternity and is not engaging at all. more interactivity so I can actually learn the answers instead of just a robot voice yapping at me for hours.
I have taken a food safety course many times and with this lesson in particular I learned some added things I did not know or realized.
Class was easy to listen to, able to pause when needed. Great information.
Class was well completed. I would have given 5 star rating if you could go back and re-watch parts of video in case I was too late to pause but had to wait till entire video was complete to go back. Also – there was a pause between each video that was longer than other courses I have taken. Overall – good course and information was provided.
This was a great training course hopefully the test goes well!
This was a wonderful course. It never felt overwhelming or dull. The flow of the process was wonderful as well. The slides helped me stay focused as a visual learner.
It was very informative and learned a lot I didn’t know.
Great Learning and easy to understand very clear
This course got straight to the point and taught all the valuable information needed to maintain all expectation of your business. Easy to follow and understand.
You would have gotten a 4 star if this review hadn’t been forced.
