Despite the progress Minnesotans have made in recent years, impaired driving and irresponsible alcohol service continue to be all too common.
How can you help?
We are offering free Alcohol Awareness Regional Trainer (AART) certification to members of law enforcement, public health organizations, and certain community coalitions.
These classes are crucial in helping to reduce the societal impact of excessive alcohol consumption and impairment.
Why is this important?
Your contribution as a certified trainer can have a major impact on the economic and human toll this nationwide epidemic continues to have in our state.
As an AART, you will be certified to provide Responsible Beverage Service Training (RBST) classes in your communities, educating liquor licensees, sellers, servers and managers on how to ensure their customers are consuming alcohol safely.
