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 Course was easy to follow and organized in a way that made sense. The option of being able to complete the course and the exam online made it super simple and fast.
It was fun and easy training
It was easy and fun
This was extremely easy, informative, and understandable. It was not insanely time consuming and I was able to easily retain information. I enjoyed the short videos and how it was interactive at times. If you watch all of the videos, you will easily be able to pass the end exam. 10/10 would recommend.
the test was good and fun

The process for what is required is convenient. Just 2-3 questions seem like more than one answer could apply, but over all, it was clear and easy to understand.

I like the training because it was easy to understand. The modules are clear and precise.
I loved how interactive it was, it wasn’t boring. I loved the review questions after each section, it prepared me well for the test
it was very informative! I liked when talking about certain rules and procedures we are given examples of real life events that really express the importance of being thorough.
I dont want to leave a review until i take the test.
Great materials to keep your business running smoothly. Very infomative and easy to understand.
This course was very easy to follow. Every module was simple to understand
It would be nice to be able to scroll back or rewind the videos during the courses. I was handwriting notes and would have to either pause very often or rewatch a whole video just to get one detail i missed towards the end.
great course, very in-depth.
This course was easily to follow and easy to navigate! I recommend 10 out of 10 to anyone looking for a Managers or Food Handlers course.
This was so much better than I expected and so much better than sitting in a classroom!
I learned a lot. Thanks for making it entertaining and by sections.
I have taken this course for Food Manager. The videos teach you each and every thing that is required for the exam. The quizes and sample tests help you prepare for the exam.
Looking forward for the actual exam.
Thank you.
This was extensive training that improved my knowledge of food safety
This was the most easy to follow and understand online class I have taken
This isn’t a terribly hard concept, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to teach.
The course is well structured and organized. I believe I’m ready for this test (we’ll see!).
The only note I have is that I wish they would hire a real voice actress and not use text-to-speech. That tech makes it much harder to stay focused and a voice actor can do a better job conveying the concepts covered in the course. There were multiple times where I had to spend some time relistening because of the text-to-speech robotic cadence had me thinking they were saying something slightly different than the text (especially with lists).
very informative easy to follow
