Take our awareness training to familiarize yourself with Vermont’s laws for serving alcohol off-premises. You’ll learn how to check ID cards to prevent the sale of alcohol to underage persons, as well as techniques for handling unlawful conduct.
The course also reviews the effects of alcohol on the human body so that you can better recognize when someone’s had too much to drink. This will help you create a safe environment in your establishment.
After you finish the lessons, you must score at least 70% on the final exam to get your certificate.
