OLCC License History

In 1985, following initiatives by the state’s restaurant association, Oregon legislated that all owners and employees of licensed businesses that serve alcohol for on-premise consumption must undergo mandatory server education. Oregon was the first state in the country to require alcohol safety training. The current law requires alcohol servers take and pass a course in responsible alcohol service every 5 years.

Following the tradition set by the State of Oregon when it pioneered mandatory training for all alcohol servers, learn2Serve.com’s online Alcohol Server Education provides the instruction that alcohol servers need to obtain their Oregon alcohol service permit.

OLCC Alcohol Service Permit Facts

Server education ensures that anyone serving alcohol does so safely and responsibly. Oregon server education covers 4 major areas:

  • Oregon alcohol sale and service laws, including drunk-driving statutes
  • Alcohol’s effects on the body and behavior, and alcohol interaction with other substances, including drugs
  • Intervention methods for dealing with intoxicated or underage customers
  • Responsible advertising, marketing, and management procedures

At the end of the course, there is a 50-question multiple-choice exam. The passing mark is 70%. Although, most students pass the exam the first time around, those who fail are allowed to retake it twice before they are required to re-register and take the course again.

After completing the course you have 45 days to apply for your OLCC service permit. To obtain a permit, attach your Certificate of Completion to the permit application
( http://www.oregon.gov/OLCC/service_permits.shtml#Application_And_Instructions).

If you passed your initial class within 7 (seven) years, you qualify. If it has been more than seven years (i.e. 7 years and one day) since you passed your last alcohol server education class, you don’t qualify.
