BASSET Training

Please note Counties serve as the local liquor licensing authority in unincorporated areas.
“On-premise” means liquor service in bars, restaurants, and banquet halls; “off-premise” means sales of packaged liquor.

IMPORTANT: ALL seller/server training (BASSET) students must renew their BASSET certification every three years (or less, if so required by local ordinance).  Additionally, state law requires
ALL on-premise servers (and those whose job description entails the checking of identification for alcohol purchase or entry into the licensed premises) to be BASSET-certified by a certain date if not already required by local ordinance.

* DUE TO SOME VILLAGES NOT ACCEPTING ONLINE CERTIFICATES, WE DO NOT OFFER ONLINE CLASSES
