Michigan Alcohol Server Training

General Description

On August 1, 2001, the Michigan Liquor Control Commission began requiring server training for employees of establishments that wish to obtain a new on premises state liquor license or transfer more than 50% interest in a business with an existing on premises liquor license. This course fulfills this legal requirement for Michigan servers or supervisory personnel. It covers both on-premises and off-premises training.

This course has an audio component.

Providing Date of Birth (DOB) is required by this course (it is required on your official certificate).

Uploading a valid, government-issued photo ID is required by this course for identity validation.
