What is the RBS Training Program?
  
   Assembly Bill 1221 (2017) created the Responsible Beverage Service Training Program Act with the intention of reducing alcohol-related harm to local communities. The bill required the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to create the Responsible Beverage Service Training Program (RBSTP) to ensure on-premises servers of alcoholic beverages and their managers are educated on the dangers of serving alcohol to minors and over-serving patrons.

Approximately 56,000 ABC licensees have on-premises alcohol sales privileges, which means alcohol can be consumed on site. On-premises locations include, but are not limited to, bars, restaurants, tasting rooms, clubs, stadiums, movie theaters, hotels, and caterers or mobile bar services. Get a Quote | Contact us!

All staff, bartenders and wait staff are: R.B.S, T.I.P.S, L.E.A.D.S, and Food Handler's certified, licensed, and insured.

   To meet the new training requirement, any on-premises alcohol server or manager must register in the RBS Portal, take training from an authorized RBS Training Provider like BartenderGirl.com, and pass the ABC Alcohol Server Certification exam within 30 days of their confirmed training. Servers and managers must be certified within 60 days of their first date of employment.
