B.A.S.I.C is an acronym for Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages, Alcohol, Seller/Server, Informational, Course. 

The course is taught by an experienced, state licensed Liquor Inspector. The mission of B.A.S.I.C is to promote responsible sales, encourage responsible consumption, and prohibit the sales of alcohol to minors. We encourage parents to talk to children about the dangers of the use of alcohol and we provide tools to our licensed agency liquor store partners to prevent the sales of alcohol to minors. This course will help you become a responsible seller/server with the skills to be successful and comfortable dealing with challenges and prepare you to thrive while protecting the most vulnerable in our communities. There is a pre-test and a post-test, and successful completion will award you a three year B.A.S.I.C certification.
