On-Premise and Off-Premise Newfoundland & Labrador Alcohol Beverage Control Cards (ANL) Offered Here
St. John’s County, Westminster County, Grand Falls- Windsor County, Cariboo County, and Conception Bay South County require all servers to be trained and require all servers have an Alcohol Education Card. Many non-serving positions will also require a card even if you are not serving alcohol. Just being in the same establishment can be enough of a reason to get a card. Training is optional in all other counties, but a proctor is required to get the hard plastic Alcohol Education card.
Our students sit at the bar and watch our qualified instructors prepare and explain each drink in front of them. Our students then spend the rest of their class making the drinks behind an actual bar under the close supervision of our instructors.
