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 thought the exam was easy because I work in the kitchen so I know all the dos and donts.
Great course
This was easy and quick to do, alot of these should be common sense, just take notes and write down any numbers you hear in the modules. great site.

great training
Going in, I was not expecting much from this course. The voice over seemed to be computer generated, and the course presentation was extremely sanitized and uninteresting. However, despite covering many topics I already knew, there was still a good amount of content I had no prior knowledge of beforehand, and I ended up learning a fair bit. If your student can get through the dry first impression this course gives off, and has the patience to trudge through some common knowledge early on, I believe they can learn a lot, and become more effective at preparing food safely.
I love the simple explanation, clean layout and visual learning of the course. Very easy for my employees to understand as well.
very well laid out and designed. covered all major points and learned what information I needed from it.

It was an awesome course & very good explained
Very useful information but takes to long.
I learned many things that I did not know. Only suggestion, is that I would have liked to have had the ability to review certain items without having to re-listen to the entire module. Else really appreciate the education which I will incorporate into personal use.

It’s a long course but it thoroughly explains the safety precautions an employee should take. Very Informative.
I’am happy I took this training program, I learned to be proactive rather than reactive, have checks and control points for every process as well as help train team for a better functional work environment. safety is a team effort and there is no better way of accomplishing this as having every team member knowledgeable and aware of why processing have to maintained as well as reporting as need be whenever there is any misunderstanding.
Very useful, easy to understand and informative.

Cross contamination is very important to teach especially those dealing in food corporations, I never knew 60% of Americans/ people do not wash their hands after going to the bathroom, disgusting. Honestly I learned many things from this lesson, and I learned how properly cook meats or prepare them for cooking!
Love it
