In alcohol beverage service training
ServeTrain was built by people who spent careers in alcohol beverage service. We turned that experience into the most practical Responsible Beverage Service certification training available online, so you can get compliant and get back to work.
ServeTrain is an online Responsible Beverage Service training and certification provider headquartered in Laguna Hills, California. We exist for one reason: to help servers, bartenders, and managers earn their RBS certification as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Our founders spent decades working in the alcohol beverage industry before building ServeTrain. They trained servers face-to-face, managed bar programs, and dealt with the same compliance headaches you deal with now. As states began mandating RBS training for on-premises alcohol service, they saw an opportunity to build something better than what was available.
That "something better" became ServeTrain: a video-based, self-paced online course designed by people who actually understand what happens behind a bar on a Friday night. Not a wall of text. Not a boring slideshow. Real training built for real professionals, available nationwide.
