Convenience stores and other businesses that sell alcohol have a legal obligation to do so responsibly. Staff training is a critical component of any alcohol sales program. Our Responsible Alcohol Sales for Off-Premise Sellers online training program includes real-world scenarios that show employees how to implement what they learn. Employees complete quizzes throughout the training to reinforce learning. At the end of the training, employees who pass the final exam receive a printable certificate. The training is broken down into these easy-to-understand sections:
