How often must bartenders attend TABC-approved training?

Bartenders are required to attend TABC-approved training every two years. This regulation ensures that they are consistently educated on responsible serving practices, alcohol laws, and regulations that govern the sale and service of alcoholic beverages. The two-year interval allows bartenders to stay informed about any updates in laws or changes in best practices regarding alcohol service, which is essential for fostering a safe and responsible environment in establishments that serve alcohol. Regular training helps reduce the risks associated with alcohol service, such as over-serving, underage drinking, and understanding the signs of intoxication, ultimately leading to a more knowledgeable workforce.
