Free Alcohol Compliance Education Training Classes Offered in October

Did you know that your business, yourself, and your staff might be held liable if an intoxicated guest leaves your establishment and causes an accident? Serving alcohol can leave a business and its employees vulnerable, and the Oklahoma Hotel & Lodging Association wants to help protect you.

Alcohol Compliance Education (ACE) is a comprehensive training program that is endorsed by the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission (ABLE). Since the implementation of this program hundreds of hotels, restaurants, convenience store operators, and nightclubs have participated in our ACE classes.

ACE Training will be offered for FREE on two dates in October. Registration includes beverages and free parking. Space is limited. Classes will be held from 12:30pm - 3:00pm
