ALA-100G: Alcohol Awareness Course

ALA-100G is the Eight Point Solutions Alcohol Awareness Course, a 4-hour online course for employees, servers, bartenders, hospitality managers, front desk staff, event workers, and volunteers. Delivered self-paced on the EPS Portal from Lanham, Maryland, the course trains you to recognize alcohol-related concerns, apply age checks and service rules within your role, communicate a refusal, offer safe-ride assistance, recognize medical emergencies, and document a factual handoff. Its content follows the published Maryland and District alcohol-training subject lists, including alcohol effects and driving, age verification, service intervention, legal responsibilities, responsible promotions, and alcohol use disorder and treatment. A source-linked curriculum crosswalk records the coverage. EPS has not applied for Maryland or District of Columbia approval, and this credential is not a Maryland or District certification. Tuition is $25.00 and is not refundable. The official ALA-100G Course Syllabus, Version 1.0 is included in Module 1. Five modules cover alcohol and your role, how alcohol works, reading intoxication, checking identification, the intervention and the record. Completion requires all five modules, every 30-item module quiz passed at 80 percent or higher with unlimited attempts, the 50-item final examination passed at 90 percent or higher within two attempts, and the 10-item course sign-off. The EPS Alcohol Awareness Certification is serial-numbered, recorded in the EPS registry, verifiable through the EPS Portal, and valid for two years; renewal requires the current version again at the published tuition. The credential documents EPS training, is not a license, medical qualification, first aid or CPR card, or state alcohol certification, and does not replace employer policy or the emergency action plan. It gives no authority to eject, detain, search, use force, or take keys, identification, or other property. ALA-100G is governed by EPS-DIR-001 and the ALA-100G Course Syllabus, Version 1.0.
