How to Get Your TABC Certification Online – Fast, Easy & State-Approved


How to Get Your TABC Certification Online – Fast, Easy & State-Approved

If you work in a bar, restaurant, or event venue in Texas and serve alcohol, you’re required by state law to complete TABC (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission) certification. Whether you’re just starting a new job or your current certification is about to expire, this guide will show you how to get TABC certified quickly, affordably, and 100% online.

 Who Needs TABC Certification?

According to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC), certification is strongly recommended (and often required by employers) for:

  •  Restaurant servers

  •  Bartenders

  •  Event staff and caterers

  •  Managers or supervisors who oversee alcohol sales

 Even if TABC certification isn’t legally required for your position, many employers require it as part of their insurance and liability policies.

 Common Questions About TABC Certification
