TABC Responsible Seller-Server Training

Who must have TABC Certification?

The state of Texas does not require TABC certification. However, most establishments selling or serving alcohol do require employees to be certified by an accredited TABC Seller Training School, like Responsible Training. 

Can I take the course and exam on a mobile device?

Yes. You can take the course and final exam on a phone, tablet, or computer. On the phone, you will have the best experience holding the phone horizontally.

How does this course work?

At the beginning of the course, you must submit your Social Security Number (SNN) and Date of Birth (DOB). Alternatively, you may submit a Machine-Readable Immigrant Visa (MRIV) or Individual Tax ID Number (ITIN) instead of the SSN. These are necessary for the TABC to record your certification and make it available to employers. 

When do I get my certificate?

You’ll receive your Responsible Training TABC Certificate immediately after you pass the final exam.

Does Responsible Training register my certificate with the TABC after I complete the requirements?

Upon completion of the TABC training course and passing the final exam, your information is passed directly to the Texas TABC for inclusion in the Seller/Server - TABC Certificate Inquiry System. The TABC maintains the records of all TABC Certificates and status.

You can access your TABC Certificate at TABC Certificate Status, where you will need to submit your SSN (or MRIV or ITIN) and DOB. Your certificate should be in the database within 15 days after you completed the course.

For how long is the certificate valid?

The Responsible Training TABC Certificate expires after two years.
