This training is super well put together and makes the whole RBS certification process really easy to get through. The content is clear, engaging, and packed with useful info. Everything’s laid out in a way that’s easy to follow, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, effective way to get certified.

The course was excellent. In depth and explained everything I needed to know about proper protocol for serving alcoholic beverages in California. After completing the training course I was eligible for the RBS exam which I easily passed with more than 90%. This course will provide you with the knowledge and resources you need. Strongly recommended for all bartenders, restaurant waiters, event servers and food and beverage managers working here in California.

I liked the training. The clear voiceover and smooth navigation were for me a game changer. The person who created this had real experience in the industry, as everything felt practical and made sense. The section modules built upon each other, and they prepared me for the final quiz. If you want something clear, concise, and easy to understand, this is the training.
