The North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Commission strongly advises that all individuals involved in selling or serving alcoholic beverages within the state complete a server training program before commencing their duties. To facilitate this, the ABC Commission offers an online Responsible Alcohol Seller/Server Training course. This program is designed to equip servers and sellers with essential knowledge regarding North Carolina’s alcohol sales and service regulations.
