State Training Program:

In Rhode Island, state law mandates that individuals involved in the sale or service of alcoholic beverages, including servers, bartenders, service staff, bouncers, hosts, valet parking staff, and their supervisors, complete an approved alcohol server training program. This training must be obtained within 60 days of employment, and participants are required to achieve a minimum score of 75% to pass. The certification is valid for three years, after which re-certification is necessary.

The Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation (DBR) provides a list of certified alcohol server training programs that meet state requirements.

These programs are designed to educate employees on responsible alcohol service, including topics such as checking identification, recognizing signs of intoxication, and understanding state liquor laws.

By completing this mandatory training, alcohol service professionals in Rhode Island are better equipped to serve responsibly, ensuring compliance with state regulations and promoting public safety.
