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 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 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.
