When a company has a Liquor License through the DABS, its employees who serve alcohol to the public must have a Server Permit (also known as an On-Premise Alcohol Permit).
Permits to work as a server are valid for three (3) years, beginning on the day they are issued. Here is a 2024 guide to passing your On-Premise alcohol permit exam.
A number of prerequisites must be met before registering for an on-premises alcohol certificate exam. To proceed with the alcohol education course, the following conditions must be met:
On-Premise permits apply to those who serve alcoholic beverages directly to the public such as servers in restaurant, bars and for special event permits.
Off-Premise permit are for those who work in retail establishments that sell packaged alcohol, such as, say, a cashier at WalMart.
The fastest way to get your Utah on-premises alcohol certificate or off-premises alcohol server certificate is to take a course online. The state of Utah has approved a wide range of alcohol awareness training classes for you to attend.
Once you have passed the final test, you will be able to get your provisional certificate of completion.

Yes. The state of Utah requires that all employees who sell or serve alcoholic drinks get training before the first day of working in the establishment. Training must be completed with a provider on the authorized list. After completing your training, you will be given a certificate of completion, which you can print and give to your employer as temporary proof that you have completed your training.
Your course completion will also result in a notification to the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (DABC), which will result in the processing of your official card. DABC will NOT send you a physical copy of your official permit in the mail. To access it, you must print it from their website.
The on-premises server training certificate will expire three (3) years after it is issued. The EASY training certificate is valid for five (5) years from the date of issue.
To begin, if you want to work in an industry that serves alcohol or other alcoholic beverages, you must first complete on-site training, EASY training, or management training. It’s written in the code. Furthermore, understanding Utah’s alcohol regulations may assist you and your business in avoiding a legal offense and the associated penalties.
Serving or selling alcohol to those under the age of 21 is punishable by steep fines, which the DABC enforces. Also, if you learn how to serve alcohol in a responsible way, you can help make the public safer by reducing the number of drunk drivers.
It is determined by the path you choose. If you complete the EASY training program, you may be eligible for positions in businesses that are licensed for off-premises sales. These are not managerial positions. To put it another way, work as a sales clerk in a grocery store, convenience store, or liquor store.
If, on the other hand, you want to serve alcohol and other alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises of a business, such as a bar, restaurant, or hotel, you’ll need special training.
