Oregon Alcohol Server Training FAQ

Is the course approved for new server permits as well as renewing an existing server permit? 

Yes, our course is OLCC approved for both new permits as well as renewing your existing permit, which is every 5 years.

 

Do I need an OLCC Alcohol Service Permit?

Oregon law requires you to have a service permit if you work at a business with a liquor license that allows customers to drink on the premises and you mix, serve, or sell alcohol in any manner.

 

How old do I need to be to get my alcohol service permit?

You are required to be 18 years old. There are restrictions for servers aged 18-20 years old.

With a minor service permit, you may pour and serve alcoholic beverages in areas where alcohol service is secondary to food service though you cannot mix drinks or work as a bartender or cocktail server. You may only enter areas prohibited to minors long enough to complete job duties such as pick-up, clean up, or deliver food.

Restrictions end once you turn 21.
