Robert Pomplun from Serving Alcohol Inc. is one of our speakers this year.  As an industry expert, Robert Pomplun conducts a break out session concerning the alcohol server training for the state of Illinois Basset alcohol course.

 

Topics included: Neurological effects of alcohol, binge drinking,
sexual assault, prevention and recovery on college campuses.

Required By State & Insurance Carriers

Most liability insurance carriers for alcohol serving establishments (restaurants, bars, taverns, night clubs, etc.) require all employees to be alcohol certified. They will require your staff remain current with state rules, regulations, and laws, in regards to the service of alcohol.  As a result, more businesses are requiring our alcohol seller server certificate as a condition of employment.

Is Illinois Basset certificate training mandatory?

  On July 1, 2015, a new Illinois state law took effect requiring all sellers, servers, and door persons (ie: those required to check identification for the purchase of alcohol) in Cook County to take our official Illinois BASSET certificate course every three years.
  On July 1, 2018, every county within the state of Illinois will require all sellers, servers, and door persons to successfully complete our official Illinois Basset certification course every three years (click on Required Training Dates for more details).

Difference between
On-Premise and
Off-Premise

 

It's often asked "What's the difference between On-Premise and Off-Premise course?".   Simply put, On-Premise refers to those who sell AND serve alcohol such as a bartender or waiter in a restaurant, bar, tavern, or nightclub.  Off-Premise refers to those who only sell the alcohol and don't serve as in a liquor store, convenience store, or gas station.
