Training Description

Smart Serve is Ontario’s mandated training for all servers of alcohol beverages in licensed establishments. The course covers such topics as the effects of alcohol, responsible serving techniques, legal issues, and house policies.

Smart Serve certification is now mandatory for serving staff including bartenders, door staff, security, managers and owners if they take an active role in the running of the day-to-day operations of their licensed establishment.

Beginning May 24th, 2019 Smart Serve® Ontario has launched a new updated training program. Please read the following carefully.
