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).

Training was very Convenient and Thorough!
Na
good
Good Course full of lots of good information
I took this course in order to start a food vendor business in the state of Virginia. I like that it was very convenient, covered all the bases without giving me information overload.
which we could skip the parts we know an learn more of what we need to not more about …. other then that was ok
I wish a class could be more directly pertaining to food trucks.
Pay attention.
Some of the bullet point details moved too fast to take notes. All and all, very informative
Quizzes, etc… seemed to do a good job of keeping me on track and locking in some of the important info.

the fact that this test is now required for all alcohol servers regardless if you’re only serving beer and wine in California should be free. These companies should not be gaining profits for something that is required.
I wish the voice was a bit less dull and lifeless: and some of the technical, legal, and medical terms were complex and hard to remember.
Great job breaking up the modules. Love that you can stop and start the training.
great course

I enjoyed the course
Informative and helpful
This training is a requirement but it was so damn glitchy that I almost had a meltdown. I ended up having to rewatch/listen to almost every single segment because it wouldn’t allow me to continue 90% of the sections even though I’d watch it all the way through. I had to watch multiple segments 3 or even 4 times before the dang thing would let me proceed! It was the most frustrating certificate class I’ve ever had to partake in.
Very good
It was incredible helpful to learn the proper handling of prepping and serving food
Very informative videos and challenging exam
educational
The videos were informative and able to hold my attention, I would definitely recommend taking this coure
I genuinely enjoyed the course. Very informative and presented in a way that was practical and easy to understand. Loved learning new information that the general food worker class doesn’t expand on.
Good source of education
The course was very helpful, and informative. I enjoyed the material and It prepared me very well for the Next Exam and for my job.
Thank you
easy to follow and learn from
Very Informative! What I grow up knowing and what you guys have provided was amazing! Everyone should have to experience this course!
I just opened a Mobile Food Truck, and being new to the industry, having access to the AAA Food Manager training was great! The course very informative, and manageable. I certain fell more confident while on food industry serving my community and beyond.
I did it
Not only was the training effective in knowing the detriments of not be cautious in the workplace, but several of the modules were applicable outside of food handling services.
