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 learned great practices for handling food.
Educational, direct information, and thorough examination to test your knowledge.
Training was easy to follow and understand
East to listen to. Makes it easy t remember important informaton
.
Good questions ,
The course was simple & therefore easy to follow/understand. In addition, it also wasn’t very long. It’s concise.
The training was very informative and included all necessary details required to perform as a food handler.
I think it would be more beneficial if there were short quizzes in between modules so we can make sure we are understanding what is being said and get them correct
Great and very informative, glad to get my food handlers finally.
While doing this course I learned how it’s important to maintain a clean environment and being clean yourself helps everyone to stay safe from any type of disease. I learned that food borne is contagious. In 1993 when E.Coli outbreak happened about 732 people were infected, 178 people with permanent injuries and 4 children died from being infected by others.
It was a good training course to learn and get educated with things you will need to learn to have a good and safe food environment.
It was okay just a long course took a lot of time
Good
Very informative and useful information.
it takes forever.

good
I really like the course, went through it very easily. Course was very explanatory with pictures and the guided literature . I enjoyed the teaching method with this video . It very easy to get through and they do not give you a lot of information at one time ,they break it down and you take a quiz in between.
I did have a couple of complications of the program needing to be reset, but Tech Support was very helpful and able to help me out with the issue at times the successfully completed at the end of the video would not pop up and we get me stalled for a minute. Tech Support was able to assist very quickly through chat. I would recommend the course to anyone.
Thanks
excellent
This training wasn’t too bad or hard.
Very clearly spoken, and well presented slides.
The training offers clear and precise information and explanation on the important issues when preparing food.
This diamond package was a great eye opener and a great way to understand what it means to be a food manager, and I want to thank the creators of the course and how it opened new doors of possibilities and made me a better manager.
Thank you.

I like that you can take a break and come back. Not sure how long you can stay away, just a rest room and soda break. It’s lengthy but step away a bit it’s not bad. the test is easy. A lot is common sense.
