✅ Who Should Take This Course?

  • Bartenders, servers, and waitstaff in Texas restaurants, bars, and clubs
  • Cashiers and clerks at Texas grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations, and liquor stores
  • Managers and supervisors who direct or oversee alcohol sales or service
  • Door staff and hosts who check IDs where alcohol is sold or served
  • Event, festival, stadium, and catering staff who pour or sell alcohol
  • Brand ambassadors and sampling staff who hand out alcohol samples
  • New hires who must be certified within 30 days so their employer keeps Safe Harbor protection
  • Anyone whose TABC certificate is about to expire and needs to recertify


✅ Does This Course Satisfy the TABC Requirement?

This course is the TABC-approved seller-server training program. When you complete all four modules and pass the TABC-approved certification test, you receive the TABC Seller-Server Certificate, which is valid for two years from the issue date.

Texas law does not require every seller or server to hold the certificate, but TABC strongly recommends it and most Texas employers require it as a condition of employment. An employer can only claim Safe Harbor protection if every employee who sells, serves, or delivers alcohol, and every manager who supervises them, is certified within 30 days of being hired.

This course does not replace the separate Texas Responsible Alcohol Delivery Certification required for people who deliver alcohol to consumers, and it is not the annual opioid-overdose awareness course that TABC requires for staff at certain businesses such as bars and nightclubs. Those are separate programs.


✅ Texas TABC Seller-Server Certification Requirements

TABC seller-server certification is an initial, stand-alone certification rather than a continuing education requirement tied to a license. The rules that matter to a seller or server are simple:

  • Certification is voluntary under state law, but employers who want Safe Harbor protection must have every alcohol-handling employee and immediate manager certified within 30 days of hire
  • The certificate is valid for two years from the date it is issued
  • The course must be taken through a TABC-certified school using the TABC mandatory curriculum
  • Online students must pass a five-question comprehension check at the end of each module (no more than one wrong) and score at least 70% on the TABC Commission Standard Competence Test
  • A student who fails the final test gets one immediate retest; failing the retest means taking the course again
  • The school issues the electronic certificate within 24 hours and TABC records the certification, which you can look up any time on the TABC Certificate Inquiry page

How this course helps: This is the complete TABC-approved seller-server program, not a partial credit. Completing the four modules and passing the final test earns the full TABC Seller-Server Certificate (Provider #681, Course #775) for two years. Nothing else is needed for the seller-server certification itself; delivery-driver certification and the opioid-awareness course are separate requirements for the people they apply to.


✅ When Does TABC Certification Expire?

Your TABC seller-server certificate expires exactly two years after the date it was issued. The expiration date is printed on the certificate and shown on the TABC Certificate Inquiry page.

There is no grace period and no renewal form. To stay certified you simply take an approved seller-server course again before the expiration date. Many employers ask staff to recertify a few weeks early so there is no gap.


✅ How to Get or Renew Your TABC Certification

  1. Check your current expiration date on your certificate or on the TABC Certificate Inquiry page (you will need your Social Security number and date of birth).
  2. Enroll in this course at 1stchoice-ce.com for $9.99. Enter your legal name, date of birth, and Social Security number exactly as TABC requires; TABC can revoke a certificate issued with false registration information.
  3. Complete the four modules at your own pace. Each module ends with a five-question comprehension check.
  4. Pass the TABC-approved final test with a score of 70% or higher. You get one immediate retest if needed.
  5. Download the certificate emailed to you and give a copy to your employer for their records.
  6. Confirm your certification on the TABC Certificate Inquiry page after we report your completion, and note the new two-year expiration date.
