Yes, since 2022, any person who sells or serves alcohol in the state of California must have a RBS certification.

California RBS certifications are valid for 3 years. The RBS training must be completed again and the certification test retaken at that time.

In order to take our RBS training you must first register as an alcohol server on the ABC RBS Portal website here. You will:

1. Create an Account. (This includes creating a username and password, entering your full legal name and email, and paying the $3 exam fee.)
2. After registering, you are given a Server ID number. (You will use this number when you sign up for our training.)
3. To take our course: we'll need your full legal name, email, and your ABC Server ID number so we can notify the ABC when you successfully complete our training. (To prevent errors or delays, please enter your info exactly as it appears in your RBS portal.) You'll also enter your credit card information to pay for the course. Your credit card is securely processed via Stripe or PayPal. (We never have access to your credit card number.)
4. Once you have successfully completed our training: we'll notify the ABC. Within 24 hours (usually immediately) you will be granted access to the ABC Alcohol Server Certification exam on the RBS Portal via the "Take Exam" button that will now be active in your portal.
5. The ABC Alcohol Server Certification Exam has 50 questions and must be passed with a score of 70% or better.
6. Important: The ABC Alcohol Server Certification exam must be taken within 30 days of completing our training.
