How long is the exam and what if I don't pass?
    There is no time limit on taking the exam, most students complete it in 20-
    30 minutes. If you fail the exam on your first try, you are given two
    opportunities to re-take the test without having to attend another class.
    You must go to an OLCC office for a re-take and there is a $5 fee.
  • Exams are available in English, Spanish & Chinese
  • Verbal exams are available upon request
  • Instructor will work privately with the student to make sure they
    understand the question

    allowed to answer test questions

What if I passed the deadline for taking the class and it's been more than 45
days?
    You must stop working with alcohol immediately and attend an Alcohol
    Server Education class as soon as possible. Once you have taken the
    class, you are allowed to submit another Service Permit Application (you
    will be required to send in another $23). If you complete the class and fill
    the application out with the Instructor, you will have a legal temporary
    permit that allows you to work with alcohol when you leave class.

stolen?

    in a $5 check or money order to the OLCC. You do not need an authorized

    copy of the application for yourself until you receive your new duplicate
    permit in the mail.
