Michigan aims its training rule at the licence, not the shift

Does every Michigan server have to be trained?

No. MCL 436.1906 directs the Liquor Control Commission to approve a server training programme for new on-premises licensees, for transferees of more than a 50 per cent interest in an on-premises licence, and for existing retail licensees the Commission decides need training because of the frequency or type of their serving violations.

What does Michigan want the training to cover?

The statute is unusually specific. The approved curriculum has to include the progressive stages of intoxication and their visible signs, the time delay between consumption and those signs appearing, the differing alcohol content across drink types, the variables behind visible intoxication, personal skills for slowing service and intervening, procedures for monitoring consumption and keeping incident reports, identifying potential second-party sales and furnishing to minors, and the legal and administrative consequences of getting it wrong.

Which programmes has the Commission approved?

The MLCC-approved list includes TAM, TIPS, ServSafe Alcohol, Rserving Michigan, the Michigan Alcohol Seller-Server Course, SureSell, Michigan Alcohol Server/Seller Training, Learn2Serve, RTO and Michigan Alcohol Safety Education. Certification Experts is not on it.

So why take this course in Michigan?

Because the risk is on the floor whether or not your venue is inside the mandate. This course drills exactly the skills the statute lists — reading impairment from behaviour rather than counting drinks, slowing a service down before it becomes a refusal, catching second-party buys, and documenting an incident — for the large majority of Michigan staff the Commission never reaches directly.
