TABC Seller Server Certification For Employees

By Mattie Knight


Serving or selling alcohol is not just for bartenders. Wait staff in hotels and restaurants, as well as cashiers at big retailers or local grocery stores may all be asked to sell or serve booze as a part of their job responsibilities. Since this is a big deal and there are a lot of laws regarding alcoholic beverages in Texas, you should definitely take a TABC seller server certification class to learn about your rights and responsibilities.

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.

The third way that is available to you to take your course is to purchase a DVD of the entire classroom instruction. You get to take the entire class and learn at your own pace, which is great for busy people and students.

All three courses give you the same knowledge you need regarding selling and serving laws in the state of Texas. Armed with this knowledge, you can make better decisions and have confidence that you made the right choices and followed the law completely.
