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 for Food Handlers was very informative and the material was presented well. It made good use of graphics and went at a pace that was not too fast.
I like the modules and the exam. It was straightforward and knowledgeable.
The website was easy to use. I was able to complete all the modules and the test within a couple of hours. I would recommend for anyone needing to get their food handler’s certificate.
IT was good.
🙂
Rally great course it was easy to follow and made the material much easier to understand
This food handler course was a fantastic experience. The content was clear, well-structured, and easy to follow. I learned a lot about food safety, and the information provided was practical and directly applicable to my work. I highly recommend this course to anyone who needs to get certified. It was a great use of my time, and I feel much more confident in my food handling skills now.
Great class but don’t know my score just that I passed. Also, at this point do not know if I receive a card or certificate or anything.
The course was very easy to follow and gave a lot of good information
I passed
very informative and I really enjoyed learning through this course.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed reviewing all of your amazing material again.
Very good training. The information was informative and to the point!!
Fácil y rápido desde la comodidad de mi casa.
Too many times, it would not allow me to progress even though I completed and would not move forward
Thank you for the useful information. I enjoyed the guide. The exam was straightforward. The whole process was pleasant.

The content is thorough and easy to learn
Great information
The course was very interesting! the modules were very informative.
Well explained and very comprehensive, definitely would recommend for anyone new or well experienced.
would take again
I think the way the videos are made and how the information is presented at this curse makes it very easy for you to catch everything very easily. Thank you!
This course does take time, but it is also the most comprehensive on line course I have taken.
Recommend taking this course over a period of a few weeks to make the most of the information.
is a great course. I learned enough to run my business, and it was a good experience
painless
Found the course to be informative and easy to use.
great course, highly recommend
This was a pretty good course, learned new things and reviewed the basics. I think it’s important all food serving places hold a food manager license because of protocols that could be forgotten and a reminder doesn’t hurt anyone. One thing though, if the website developers could make it where we can move back and forward on each slide that would be very helpful. Besides that I find that the course is neatly put together and the review after every topic is good.
good class
Even though all these information is very dense, the way videos are made in sections and interactions are a better way to study. Hopefully I would only need one take on the exam.
Everything is really well-structured information is very clear and easy to understand I would definetly recommend this to all of my friends.

While the finishing page is true, “Mandatory training is never fun,” I was actually pleasantly surprised at the quality of this course. I had been through something similar for my food handler’s license, but I recall that course being really awful (lots of mock conversations between a new employee and her new manager in the style of “Dick and Jane”: see Spot run! Run Spot, run!), but this RBS Alcohol training was both informative and concise! I learned quite a lot about the more technical aspects of the laws surrounding alcohol service, as well as good recommendations to improve my future interactions with customers. Five stars!
Confusing , slow, kept Disappearing from my screen- often froze so I had to keep going back to listen multiple times praying that it would advance to the next section. Not straight forward or clear at all. I will go out of my way to tell other servers NOT to use your training course. I would give no stars if I could. You should refund my money for this miserable experience

I didn’t like that you had to wait until the “Completed Module” message popped up before hitting the next module button. Other than that it was easy.
I was very impressed with the Training Modules presented by AAA Food Handler. The photos and narrative really helped me to understand and I would recommend them !
Easy way to learn and being knowledgeable before working into food environmental area.
