All alcoholic beverage licensed establishments are required by law to have a state approved alcohol awareness certified person on the licensed premises during all hours in which alcohol beverages are sold. ABS does not provide Alcohol Awareness Training. At the links below you will find a list of Alcohol Awareness Courses compiled by Alcohol Beverage Services (ABS) and approved by the State of Maryland. The list is not a complete directory of all vendors that service Montgomery County and does not serve as an endorsement for any of the companies. Additionally, you will find a link to the ABS website and for the MD ATCC database where you can find all certified trainers listed. From the dropdown at License Permit Type, select Alcohol Awareness Instructor Permit for a full listing.
