What You Need To Know About TABC Seller Server Certification

By Mattie Knight


There are lots of jobs where you may be asked to either sell or serve alcohol to people as a part of your responsibilities. Whether you are a cashier, server in a restaurant or a bartender, you need to know the laws surrounding alcoholic beverage sales and service before you start working. That is why you should take a TABC seller server certification course.

Though it is not required by law to take this class, it is highly recommended by the TABC, the governing body for alcohol sales in Texas. This class helps you learn the many laws regarding alcohol in the Lone Star state. You find out who you can serve to, when you may be required by law to stop serving or selling, and much more.

Besides learning all the alcohol related laws that pertain to your job, you also will get lots of hints about how to handle certain situations that may arise during work. For example, a minor may try to buy alcohol using a fake ID, but if you take the course, you'll already know several tricks for spotting a fake license. You will also learn how to handle someone who is drunk that you can no longer serve to.

For these reasons, you should really consider taking a class. However, be careful, for not all of these courses are created equal. The TABC has certified certain retailers and other third party providers to teach these classes on their behalf. Look for an official certification before you turn over your hard earned money to take the course. If you take the class from an uncertified source, you could end up with an inferior experience.

You have lots and options about how to take this course, so you can pick the one that works best for you. For a lot of people, an in person session with an actual teachers is the best way to learn new material. If this sounds like you, then you can opt for a classroom environment where you learn with a fellow group of students and may be asked to take quizzes and tests.

If you have a hard time getting to one of these in person classrooms or just prefer the privacy of your own home, you can do an Internet only course instead. This means that you get to see the class through a stream on your computer. There may be live streams or pre-recorded streams available for you to purchase. This is not unlike colleges and universities who offer online courses.

Finally, there are classes that are pre-recorded onto a DVD and mailed to your home. With this type of class, you get to go at your own pace and can rewind or pause the DVD as much as you like to accommodate phone calls, children or other responsibilities.

No matter which type of course you choose, you will get a chance to learn everything you need to know in order to be a confident seller or server of alcohol. You may be required by your employer to get recertified periodically, which helps you since you will always be up on the latest laws.
