Course #1 - Oregon Alcohol Server Certification
The LIQUORexam.com Alcohol Server/Seller training program will teach you how to serve alcohol responsibly, handle difficult situations, detect, and deal with drug use or sales, check for proper ID, and understand the effects of alcohol on the human body.
This training program is specifically designed for those who own, manage, or work in establishments that serve and/or sell alcohol. Responsible alcohol service education is extremely important for all workers in this industry.
As of July 7, 2022, this course is Approved by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.
In 1985, Oregon became the first state in the country to require training for all of its alcohol servers. The idea did not come from government -- it came from the hospitality industry itself. Oregon's restaurant association sponsored legislation which established mandatory server education for owners and employees of licensed businesses that serve alcohol by the drink.
Service permits are required for servers (i.e., waitstaff or bartenders) who work for a business that allows customers to drink alcoholic beverages on the premises; managers who directly supervise servers who mix, serve, or sell alcohol to customers for drinking at their premises; owners who mix, serve, or sell alcohol or manage services at that business; and any person who fills growlers. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and pass an alcohol server education course. Oregon was the first state in the country to require all alcohol servers to be trained. The purpose of the course is to enhance public health and safety by developing the knowledge and skills that support responsible alcohol service.
A person with a temporary alcohol service permit can serve alcohol while their service permit application is being processed by OLCC, but they must take the server education class within 45 days. Permits must be renewed every five years; to renew, the server must take an OLCC certified Alcohol Server Education course and pass the Alcohol Server Permit Test, then re-apply and pay for a new permit.
To obtain your OLCC server permit, you must complete the following:
- Complete an approved OLCC alcohol server education course such as LIQUORexam.com.
- Create your online account on the OLCC website’s Alcohol Service Permit Portal HERE
- As you create you online account you will be able to:
- Upload your ID
- Submit your permit application and submit payment ($28.65 payable to OLCC)
- Download/print your temporary service permit
- Pay with credit/debit card
Once you complete this online Alcohol Server Education Course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion from LIQUORexam.com. You will then upload that Certificate of Completion to your online OLCC account and then take the Alcohol Server Permit Test.
- Upload your Certificate of Completion of your alcohol server education course
- Take the Alcohol Server Permit Test
This training is Mandatory for:
- On-premises employees: those who mix, sell or serve alcohol and managers of these people.
- Off-premises employees: those who fill growlers at licensed establishments.
