Target Group
The Serving Alcohol Permit test is intended for restaurant industry personnel who are required to demonstrate the competence of a supervisor or deputy supervisor responsible for alcohol legislation, as required by the National Supervisory Authority for Social Welfare and Health (Valvira).
According to the law (1.3.2018), there must be a full-age (18 years) responsible person in each work shift. They are no longer subject to any special competence requirements, but instead require a certificate of competence in alcohol legislation (the so-called Serving Alcohol Permit).
The Serving Alcohol Permit test is intended for, for example, restaurant floor staff, including entrepreneurs or those intending to become entrepreneurs, as well as a competence test for job seekers to promote employment.
