Amazon Flex requires all drivers who deliver alcohol to complete approved alcohol delivery training before accepting alcohol orders. Certification Experts offers an online course that satisfies this requirement — it takes about 1 hour and costs $35.
Amazon partners with retailers to deliver beer, wine, and spirits through its Flex delivery program. Because drivers are the final checkpoint between an alcoholic beverage and the customer, Amazon requires certification to ensure legal compliance and responsible delivery practices.
Without completing alcohol delivery training, you cannot:
- Accept alcohol delivery blocks on the Amazon Flex app
- Deliver orders that contain beer, wine, or spirits
- Earn the higher tips that typically come with alcohol orders
The Certification Experts alcohol delivery training course covers everything Amazon Flex requires:
- Alcohol delivery laws and compliance — Federal and state regulations governing alcohol delivery
- ID checking techniques — How to properly verify a customer's age at the door
- Recognizing signs of intoxication — When and how to refuse a delivery
- Underage drinking prevention — Your legal responsibilities as a delivery driver
- Liability awareness — What happens if you deliver to a minor or intoxicated person
- Human trafficking awareness — Recognizing warning signs during deliveries
Getting certified is straightforward:
- Enroll in the National Alcohol Delivery Training Certification ($35)
- Complete the online course — takes approximately 1 hour, entirely self-paced
- Pass the exam — 99% pass rate, scenario-based questions
- Download your certificate — available immediately after passing
- Upload to Amazon Flex — submit your certification through the Flex app
The course costs $35 through Certification Experts. This is a one-time fee — no recurring charges or hidden costs. Alcohol delivery blocks on Amazon Flex often pay more and generate higher tips, so the certification typically pays for itself within your first few alcohol deliveries.
