Program updates from the Responsible Beverage Service Training Program (RBSTP) team including now accepting training provider applications, the training provider application process, project timeline, and FAQs.
Now Accepting Training Provider Applications
The Responsible Beverage Service Training Program (RBSTP) team is pleased to announce that they are now for all application entities. The training provider application for entities that qualify as a government entity is now available, in addition to the previously offered private sector business entity applications.
Training Provider Application Process
On Friday, February 5, 2021, the RBSTP team hosted a virtual stakeholder meeting via Zoom, which provided a high-level overview of the RBS Program and focused on the specifics of the training provider application. A demo of the online Training Provider application was also provided. A recorded copy of the meeting is available on the February 2021 Program Update. Our responses to the questions that were asked during the meeting by our stakeholders will be posted later this week. The training provider application is now available and is accessible via a portal link on the ABC RBSTP page.
