About the Course
The Beverage Alcohol Sellers and Servers Education and Training (BASSET) program is the state of Illinois' seller/server training program.
The program is an educational training tool that teaches alcohol sellers and servers to serve responsibly and stay within the law.
The BASSET Certification Program serves as a preventive measure to discourage overconsumption and keep drunk drivers off the roads.
Why Our Course?
- Recognized by major Illinois employers, insurance firms and law enforcement
- Trusted by over 500,000 sellers and servers from the industry
- Provides engaging and interactive material
- Toll-free telephone support available
- Over 500,000 Alcohol Safety Certification certificates issued nationwide
Why Get BASSET Certified?
In July 2018, the Illinois Liquor Control Commission (ILCC) mandated that BASSET training is required for all on-premise alcohol servers and employees who check ID for alcohol service.
In addition, many businesses that sell alcohol for off-premises consumption require their staff to get certified and learn skills to prevent alcohol-related mishaps. Our BASSET certification program is ILCC-approved and accepted statewide in Illinois.
The ILCC encourages BASSET training for anyone who sells or serves alcohol, including employees of liquor stores, grocery stores and convenience stores. BASSET training can also reduce an establishment's liquor liability insurance. You will not only receive protection in the event of an alcohol-involved incident, but you will also learn how to create a safer environment for your co-workers and customers.
