Frequently Asked Questions

Is Responsible Vendor training required in Florida?

No. The Responsible Vendor Act is voluntary. Licensees choose to qualify, and many require training of their staff so they can.

What does a responsible vendor get?

Under Fla. Stat. 561.706, a qualifying vendor’s license can’t be suspended or revoked over an underage sale by an employee who had completed the training, unless the vendor knew of or took part in the violation. The state also treats responsible-vendor status as a mitigating factor in penalties.

Is there ongoing training?

Yes. The Act also asks responsible vendors to hold a staff meeting on the topics every four months. Your employer runs those.

When do I have to finish?

Within 15 days of starting as a manager at a responsible vendor.

How is this different from the server course?

It covers everything in the server course, plus writing procedures, supporting staff through incidents, and keeping the records the Act requires.

Can I take the course on my phone?

Yes. The course works on any device, so you can finish it on a phone, tablet, or computer.

Can I stop and come back later?

Yes. Your progress saves, so you pick up right where you left off.
