On-premises alcohol training is designed for servers, bartenders and other employees at bars, restaurants, clubs and venues where alcohol is consumed on-site.
E.A.S.Y. Off-premises alcohol training is for individuals working in grocery stores, convenience stores and other venues where alcohol is sold for off-site consumption.
Our on- and off-premises Utah alcohol courses provide individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary for responsible alcohol service and sales.
Our Utah alcohol courses cover:
Every individual in the state of Utah who sells or serves alcoholic beverages for on- or off-site consumption must complete alcohol server training.
On-premises training is designed for servers at bars, restaurants and similar establishments. Employees who sell sealed beer to go at businesses such as grocery and convenience stores need to complete off-premises training — also known as Eliminate Alcohol Sales to Youth (E.A.S.Y.) training.
On-premises alcohol training must be completed within 30 days of starting employment, and off-premises employees must finish the course before they start selling alcohol. For both programs, retraining is required every three years.

Utah requires alcohol training for all on- and off-premises employees who directly serve or handle alcohol. If you are an on-premises alcohol server, this training must be completed within 30 days of employment. Off-premises employees who sell sealed beer to go must earn their certification before they start selling alcohol.
No, this off-premises alcohol certification course is designed for employees of grocery stores, convenience stores and other businesses that sell sealed beer to go. We do not currently offer the separate training program that is required for liquor store employees.
In Utah, on-premises alcohol certification and off-premises alcohol certification are both valid for three years from the course completion date. You need to complete the course every three years to maintain your certification.
No prior experience or qualifications are necessary. These courses are suitable for beginners and experienced individuals who want to become certified, renew their certification or brush up on their alcohol-serving knowledge.
Your certificate of completion and official alcohol card will be available for instant download once you pass the final exam. We will also automatically report your course completion to the state of Utah.
