Pennsylvania RAMP Server Seller Certification – PLCB Approved Online Course

If you work in the Pennsylvania hospitality industry, you know the drill: RAMP certification is mandatory. But one of the most common questions we get—usually from panicked managers—is, “Wait, my staff has to do this again?”

Yes. And the timing is strict.

The 2-Year Rule is Hard-Coded According to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB), your Seller/Server RAMP certification is valid for exactly two years from the date you pass the course. There is no grace period.

If your certificate expires on a Friday, you are technically not permitted to serve alcohol on Saturday. If a PLCB analyst or State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement officer conducts an inspection, an expired staff member counts as an uncertified staff member.

Are You in the “Danger Zone”? (Mid-2023 to Mid-2024) If you took your course anywhere between June 2023 and May 2024, you are in the renewal window right now. Many of you have already expired without realizing it. Others are about to expire before the busy spring season hits.

Don’t Risk Your Establishment’s Status For a licensee to maintain their “RAMP Certified” status (which offers crucial legal benefits and potential insurance discounts), they must maintain a roster where at least 50% of the alcohol service staff has current RAMP certification.

However, the smartest operators aim for 100%. Why take the risk? If your only certified bartender calls out sick, and you have an uncertified backup pouring drinks, your “safe harbor” protections could evaporate during an incident.
