Managers certification course and exam to be online only effective Jan. 12
LĪHU‘E – The Department of Liquor Control of the County of Kaua‘i has opted to begin
offering the managers certification course and exam online only due to the spike in COVID cases on
the island. This change is effective Wednesday, Jan. 12, and until further notice.
“Any member of management in charge of a licensed location and required to take the
course as a requirement for employment will need to visit the County of Kaua‘i Liquor Control
Department website for further information on how to register for the course,” said Director of the
Department of Liquor Control Leo Sandoval. “Online spaces will be limited to 12 per session at this
time – in the morning and afternoon on each Wednesday.”
Participants in the online training must be at least 21 years old and have an unexpired,
unaltered, and undamaged government-issued photo ID. They are required to register at
www.kauai.gov/Liquor.
Those without internet access can request to take the online training at the Liquor
Department by calling 808-241-4966. The availability to utilize online access to the course in our
office will be limited and only available by appointment.
County of Kaua‘i Liquor Commission Rule 2.9(b) states: "Every licensee shall ensure that its
employees involved with the sale of liquor are familiar with the rules of the commission and liquor
laws of Hawai'i. No Training other than the material(s) provided by Department of Liquor Control
can be used as a substitute to obtain a Red or Blue Card. Any claim by other organizations offering
training which states that upon completion you will be certified to obtain a Red or Blue card is
incorrect.
