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 training was clear and professional the only thing I would have to make it better is a way to tell how far you are into the course, if you are on a time line it would be nice to know how much you have left.
This course is imperative to any individual working within the restaurant industry. And extremely helpful to those working within their own kitchens.
It was hard at first but I only made it so by moving to fast but I hope I pass
Very informative
I really enjoyed this course because it’s well-organized and easy to follow. What I appreciate the most is how interactive it is, which makes learning dynamic and engaging. The practical exercises and activities helped me understand the concepts better and retain the information more effectively.
As a suggestion, it would be great to have a summary or a quick review quiz at the end of each module. This would help reinforce the key points and ensure all the information has been absorbed.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with the experience.
I’m the best in the world thank you thank you next gordon ramesey

HELPED IN WAY I CAN EXPLAIN
fue todo UN retro que al final logre
todo estubo excelente El curso
It’s easely to lern
Gave me some good points to pass on my team and myself. Easy to follow and not to dragged out on the info.
The course was not painful. It was appropriate in length and in content.
The training was pretty straight forward and understandable. The only issues I had were you can’t rewind the video, only restart the entire clip which means if you missed one detail you have to sit through the entire clip again for that one moment. Another issue I had was certain modules would have severe delay from the audio to video, and refreshing the page did not help the issue.
Lengthy
Everything was knowledgeable
This was a really good course, I have taken several and I really appreciate how this one went through everything and the quizzes at the end of each segmant.
I really enjoyed taking this course I truly learned so much more
In the restaurant business nd hope this helps in my future

I feel very prepared to take the test.
Very useful
Wish closed captioning would stay on when you changed modules and did not have to be turned back on every time.
Section 3.2 Part 1 is missing. It just plays Part 2 instead. I have serious doubts about all the 5 star reviews at this point.
Lengthy and tedious but I recognize the importance of each category.

it was great information
Very understandable, and enjoyable.
I enjoyed watching the videos it helped me understand and know about the food industry and the people safety’s.
Very concise, clear and current material, that moved at a good pace to help retain information, but not bore me and lose my attention. Well recommended.
a majority of the course did not have any audio and the closed captioning needs to be turned on manually every time.
i enjoyed the course it was simple and effective at getting the point across for the things i needed to know to obtain my food handlers certificate
This website is probably the fastest to take your quiz. And for the price you can’t beat it
i loved this training
This course was straightforward, but is delivered in a way that makes it very digestible. Overall, very informative & manages to keep the audiences attention. Nothing hard to understand.
Helpful
Learned everything I needed to know.
I have learn more about food safety and prevention infection for food diseases. It’s very informative and easy to understand every topic.
All good, but consider letting modules to be backed up to allow time to take notes on temps and acronyms. Otherwise very well presented. Thanks!
This was a great course, it laid out everything needed to know while using fun and engaging layouts and interactive prompts along the way!
