The Rserving® Responsible Serving® of Alcohol course has been approved for Maryland's alcohol server / seller awareness training by the Comptroller of Maryland. The Maryland alcohol server / seller course material can be completed online; however, you are required to complete a proctored test, which means you have to have someone supervise you while you take the test to validate your identity and verify that you complete the test without using any notes or reference materials. The proctor will charge you a fee of $25 to $35.
Approved proctors are located in Rockville, Temple Hills and Glen Burnie.
After you complete the course material online for Maryland alcohol server / seller training, you will be given the contact information for the approved proctor to schedule a time to take the test. The proctor will give you access to the test, which will take about half an hour. Once you complete the test, you will be able to print your Maryland alcohol server / seller certificate of completion for the course.

Responsible alcohol server training ensures that sellers and servers of alcohol understand the liquor laws in their states and serve responsibly. Some areas require alcohol seller/server certification for any employee that handles alcohol.
Our responsible server online course can be taken in one or more online sessions and satisfies the requirements in most areas. This training meets the requirements or recommendations (if applicable) in most states and jurisdictions. It is a good idea to get this certification because many establishments require this training to lower their insurance rates and the chances of failing a sting or alcohol check. This certification can also help you stand out from other job applicants who don't have server certification.
General Information This course is designed to help you maximize your knowledge of alcohol service through easy-to-master lessons. As you move through the course, you will learn specific and detailed information about how to serve alcohol responsibly.
How long does the course take?
For most people, this course will take just a couple of hours to complete. However, the course is self-paced and any additional time needed will depend on your personal study habits. You can take as much time as you need to study the course material and there are no penalties for retaking the quizzes.
