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 class was helpful. The computerized voice was not super pleasant but it got the job done I suppose.. It is very bad practice to demand a review prior to taking the test. I might have given it 5 stars but as I am only 1/2 complete, I could not offer a true opinion.
The course was quite informative & very thorough throughout.
The training covers the entire process, functions & duties of a food manager/food establishment owner.
It’s well known, Food can easily & seriously harm people & worse!…
I love how this course is very focused on reminding the student of that fact!..
Repeatedly brining focus back to the seriousness of not properly controlling foods.
I’ve already paid for the Allergens course also,
It’s not required for my area but I like the extra added safety of being informed.
My wife and daughter will be taking the food handler course also as they will be helping in our food business.
I 100% recommend this course for all your needs in food & safety training….
Customer service is a huge aspect these days with outsourcing jobs..
I have nothing but positive comments for the agents who I did speak with for general questions pertaining to the courses I trained in….

I understand laws and info can be boring but there are ways to present in an interesting way. This was really difficult to get through, it was dry and boring. I usually don’t have any issues with stuff like this.

good class
Great!
Easy to understand and follow instructions
this was a easy on going course
Upon completing this food handling course I have increased my knowledge of how to properly handle food to avoid contamination, and adhere to strict guidelines in an effort to minimize pathogens, and cross contamination. I would recommend this class to anyone who eats or cooks.
Easy to understand and follow.
So thankful
loved it
.
The course mentions MSG as a negative in food. The crusade against MSG over the last few decades has been proven to be a racially fueled campaign to drive Chinese and other Asian owned restaurants out of business. To not remove and alter that information and acknowledge this only serves to perpetuate a racist anti Asian Rhetoric. I hope you will recognize that continuing to say and spread this misinformation is harmful.
very informative
I learned a lot, thanks
