State of Missouri Alcohol
Responsibility Training

The State of Missouri Alcohol Responsibility Training (SMART) is a free, online interactive training program operated by Missouri Partners in Prevention at the University of Missouri.

The program educates sellers and servers of alcoholic beverages about their legal obligations concerning the service of this highly regulated product.
Owners, managers, and employees of establishments that serve alcoholic beverages are strongly encouraged to take this brief, informative program.

Benefits of the program include:

  • Helping understand the laws that govern you and your employees’ behavior.
  • Learning how to deal with the highly sensitive issue of intoxicated patrons.
  • Guidance in instituting policies and procedures to reduce liability risks.
  • Assistance in the detection of false identification.
  • May assist you in obtaining an insurance discount on your liability premiums.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

No, the SMART registration process is designed to be completed by the individual account holder. Each individual who needs a SMART server or seller certificate should create their own account.

Because accounts belong to the individual, certificates earned on the website stay with the individual account, but can be associated with any employer/liquor license number in the system.

Any SMART account can be related to any number of establishments (liquor license numbers). This allows individuals to earn one valid server or seller certificate that can be attached to multiple employers. In the old website, an employee had to earn a new server or seller certificate for each employer.

A valid email address is a critical component of the account registration process. Individuals who do not have a valid email address can obtain one, free of charge, from many different providers. We recommend Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail, but there are other providers that can be used as well.

No, the training is designed to be completed by the individual account holder. The website is available 24/7.

Many employers require their employees to hold a server or seller certificate as a condition of employment. Some employers provide computer and internet access to their employees and allow them to earn the required certificate(s) at work. While other employers require employees to earn the required certificate(s) on their own time using their own equipment.

That depends. As a courtesy, there is a “test out” option available. Veterans of the hospitality industry who “know their stuff” can test out and earn their certificate(s) in a matter of minutes.

The self-guided training is available for those who need more information about serving or selling alcohol in the state of Missouri. Completing the training takes most people 60-75 minutes.

SMART administrators strongly recommend that each certificate candidate review the training in its entirety before taking the exam.

SMART certificates can be associated to any number of establishments in the system. This means that certificates are “portable” and can be associated with numerous employers. These relationships can also be easily removed by the individual or the manager if an employee/employer relationship is terminated.

When you affiliate with the establishment where you work, you can view relevant policies for your establishment and the establishment can maintain a listing of certified employees through SMART.

Employees can print off their certificate of completion for their/your records, or you can monitor the progress of all of your employees if they associate their account with your establishment/liquor license number. Please encourage your employees to affiliate with your business within the program.
