RBSS certification meaning

Presenting your Responsible Training RBSS Certificate shows you have had training in alcohol safety and regulations and laws. It shows you have the knowledge required to serve alcoholic beverages responsibly. 

Many different situations can come up while working in an alcohol service role, and you might not have the knowledge needed to deal with those circumstances if you didn’t bother to complete the training process.

how to use The RBSS Certification

Individuals who are required to hold an Employee License for selling and serving alcoholic beverages must undergo training that covers the laws and different situations involved in serving alcohol. 

 Initially, you must apply for an Employee License from the Oklahoma ABLE Commission. Within 14 days of applying, you must complete an approved RBSS course, like this one. Finally, you must upload your Responsible Training RBSS Certificate to demonstrate that you have completed the required training. 

The ABLE Commission has provided a video to help with the process.
