If your California business sells or serves alcohol on premises then you need to be sure that your managers and servers are RBS certified and compliant. State law requires this certification for those personnel. Let’s go over the three quick steps you need to take to make sure that your venue is compliant with this new California law.
Register with ABC as an Alcohol Server
The first step is to make sure that your business is properly registered with California’s Alcoholic Beverage Control. This is the body that oversees and governs the sale, importation and even the manufacturing of alcoholic beverages. If you have an existing venue that serves or sells alcohol then you should be familiar with this organization and how to properly register your venue.

Find an ABC Approved Training Provider and enroll. If you’re on the hunt for an approved provider then look no further. You’re already where you need to be.

Another win here is that the training is offered in a variety of languages. It is currently available in English, Spanish and Korean. ABC is also in the process of providing these training materials in Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalong, Hindi and Punjabi.
Pass the RBS Exam
The RBS training course covers a lot of important ground. It helps managers and servers to understand laws concerning the sale and on-premises consumption of alcohol as well as how to identify over-served patrons and how to de-escalate difficult situations if those over-served become unruly. The training materials also explain how to prevent over-serving and recognize the signs of possible alcohol poisoning.
All that is required by law is that the provided materials are properly studied and those being tested successfully pass the exam. The exam is typically multiple choice and a passing grade is needed in order to obtain legal certification. Again, this can be done remotely and completed in a single afternoon, if needed.
The RBS Certification is There to Protect Your Business and Patrons
Upon completion, employees can then download and print their certifications. The certifications can even be emailed to the employer for printing and display. Your business must keep a record of these certifications in order to demonstrate compliance with this new state law.
