An Expedited Course in Responsible Alcohol Service Approved by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission (ILCC)
The Fundamental Alcohol Safety Training Program (F.A.S.T.)
Is directed toward all who work in establishments where liquor is served. It will be most beneficial to those directly responsible for serving alcoholic beverages to guests. The acronym F.A.S.T. emphasizes the intent to teach the fundamentals of responsible alcohol service in just-in-time format.
F.A.S.T. LLC., submitted curriculum to the Illinois Liquor Commission regarding alcohol awareness training
This was accepted by our state legislatures and the in-class BASSET certification was officially changed from 6 hours to 4 hours class time. We are committed to working with The Illinois Liquor Commission, appropriate members of the legislative bodies, operators and owners of liquor licenses and any and all groups concerned to help make this state a better and more recognized place for safety, by making a commitment to all of our citizens and their families.
F.A.S.T. accomplishes training in four hours, well within a server’s time and attention span.

The State of Illinois Insurance Providers grants bars, restaurants and hotels a break on their insurance rates for having a Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) program in place and assuring that their staff is trained. Delaware, Nebraska, New Mexico, Arizona, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Alabama and Michigan all currently have mandatory RBS policies on the books.
The broad-based Building Responsibility Coalition headed by Tracy Bachman along with Tom Workman, Ph.D., associate director of the NU Directions Project spoke at a recent Alcohol Policy 13 conference, held in Cambridge, Mass., Workman said, “It’s agreed that server training should be done, but cost and high turnover made an all day training program impossible.”
