Why Should I Be Certified?

Responsible alcohol certification for servers of alcohol is not yet required by New York state law. However, many large companies are now requiring any employee serving alcohol to the public to be certified by a state-recognized responsible alcohol program.

In addition, many of the large insurance companies that write the liquor liability insurance for the establishments are requiring them to have all of their staff certified.

What this means to you as a liquor-serving employee is that you not only receive protection in the event of an alcohol-involved incident, but you will become more hirable by these quality companies since you will already be certified by a program that is approved through the Empire State Restaurant Association.

 In New York, responsible alcohol service training provides mitigating benefits: The New York State Liquor Authority (NYSLA) will consider training a mitigating factor if, at the time of violation, the person who committed the violation held a valid certificate of completion or renewal from a certified alcohol training awareness program provider and the licensee diligently implemented and complied with training program.
