Does Florida require Alcohol Server Training?

Florida laws don’t require alcohol training; however, if your employer is trying to qualify you as a Responsible Vendor, they may require that you complete a training course.

That’s because licensees must ensure that managers and employees have completed an alcohol server training course, such as the one provided by Learn2Serve by 360training, to participate in the Responsible Vendor Program in Florida.

What is the Florida Responsible Vendor Program?

It’s a voluntary program implemented to encourage employers to sell and serve alcohol responsibly, prevent underage drinking, and get drunk drivers off the roads. Employers who participate may also be eligible for insurance benefits. Plus, they may get reduced penalties for violations.

To qualify for the Responsible Vendor Program, licensees must:

Provide employees and managers with training that covers specific topics related to selling alcoholic beverages, as well as dealing with controlled substances.
Require employees who serve alcoholic beverages to complete the training within 30 days of employment.
Require managers to take training within 15 days of employment.
Require all employees to attend one informal monthly meeting to review policies and procedures every four months.
As a condition of employment, each employee must complete a questionnaire to determine if the employee is prohibited by law from serving or selling alcohol.
Establish a written policy stating that any employee who engages in the illegal use of controlled substances on the licensed premises will be immediately dismissed from employment. Require each employee to acknowledge the policy in writing.
Maintain records for each employee containing their applications, acknowledgments, and training, as well as documents of the vendor’s enforcement of dismissal policies.
Post signs informing customers about the policies against serving alcoholic beverages to underaged persons and the consequences of violating these policies.

How do I get my Florida Responsible Vendor Certificate?

To get your Responsible Vendor certificate in Florida, you must complete an alcohol seller-server course and pass the final exam. Once you do, you’ll get your certificate of completion immediately. You can give this to your employer to verify your training.
