What We Do

Training You to be a Responsible Alcohol Vendor

While selling alcohol for off-premise consumption, Colorado law requires that you ID anyone who appears to be under the age of 50. Recognizing the valid forms of identification is only one of the important skills you will learn in our Responsible Alcohol Vendor program.

We will also incorporate your establishment's policies and procedures into our training material when we conduct training for you.

Certification cards will be provided to all employees who successfully complete the training and pass the required exam.

Additionally, we will provide the names and dates of the certification to you and your employees and to the liquor licensing authority for inclusion in your file.

By law, Colorado Complete Compliance retains records of everyone who has completed our Responsible Alcohol Vendor Training program for a 3-year period of time following initial certification.

Your Certification will be active for a period of 3 years
