This component is the focus of this online training. In order to fulfill this requirement, at least 50 percent of the licensee’s alcohol service staff – including anyone who serves or sells alcohol and/or checks IDs, as well as owners or managers who perform these duties – must complete this training before RAMP certification can be granted. This percentage must be maintained at all times. Upon completion of the course, trainees are required to complete a course examination and receive a score of 80 percent or better in order to receive credit for this course. Training is valid for two years.
Licensees may choose to attend classroom training conducted by a PLCB-approved instructor or complete an online training course offered by a PLCB-approved provider. A list of approved trainers and online providers is available on the PLCB’s website. The list changes periodically, so please make sure you have an up-to-date list before scheduling training. Classroom trainings open to the public can be found in PLCB+.
Although server/seller training is one component of RAMP certification, this training by itself is also mandatory for:
- All staff serving alcohol at an off-premises catering event.
- All cashiers selling wine at an establishment with a wine expanded permit.
- All cashiers selling ready-to-drink cocktails at an establishment with a RTDC permit.

- All new alcohol service personnel hired on or after August 8, 2016 who are already RAMP-trained must be re-trained before their current training expires.
- All employees hired before August 8, 2016 who are not RAMP-trained but transfer into an alcohol service position on or after August 8, 2016 need to obtain RAMP-training within six months of assuming their new duties.
