In Virginia, alcohol training programs fall under STAP—the Seller/Server Training Approval Program.
A STAP-style course will teach you things you’ll actually use on the job, like:
- How to confidently check IDs
- When someone has had too much—and how to cut them off
- How to handle uncomfortable or confrontational situations
- The specific alcohol laws that apply in Virginia
Who Really Needs This Training?
Most people in these roles benefit from it immediately:
- Bartenders
- Servers
- Cashiers selling alcohol
- Managers
- Delivery drivers handling alcohol orders
A lot of employers in Virginia either require training internally or strongly prefer hiring people who already have it.
So even if the state isn’t requiring alcohol training—your job probably will.
