The intent of server education is to help servers develop the knowledge and skills that support responsible alcohol service. Classes cover many alcohol related topics including the following:
The effects of alcohol on the body and behavior, including the interaction of alcohol with other drugs,
and the many visible signs of intoxication,
Oregon's alcohol sale and service laws, including drunk driving laws, and the effects alcohol has on society,
Intervention techniques for dealing with intoxicated and underage customers, and techniques to help in
recognizing fake, altered, or misused I.D.s,
Responsible advertising, marketing, and management procedures.
At the end of each class, students take a 50 question multiple-choice test. Students need a score of 70% to pass. More than 98% of students pass the test the first time they take it. Students who fail may retake the exam two times before they have to retake the class. The exam is designed to reinforce the learning process. It is not used to exclude students from the alcohol industry
