 BASSET Training

The Beverage Alcohol Sellers and Servers Education and Training (BASSET) program is regulated by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission and is a mandatory requirement in dozens of counties and individual municipalities in the state of Illinois. Charlie's is also a State certified training institution for those wishing to become Certified BASSET Instructors in the State of Illinois.

Constructed as an alcohol awareness program, BASSET is customized for the alcohol sellers and servers in the State of Illinois. Mandated as a six hour program, the BASSET class is broken into five areas of coverage:

  1. Physical Properties of Alcohol: Identifies the components of alcohol and its effects of the human body, early warning signs of intoxication, fetal alcohol syndrome, alcohol overdosing, and Blood Alcohol Concentration.
     

  2. Prevention and Intervention: Discusses techniques in dealing with intoxicated customers, avoiding over serving customers, identifying alcohol server and seller responsibilities, and tips for enforcing responsible sales and service of alcohol.
     

  3. Identification Techniques: This portion of the training is handled by the Illinois Secretary of State Police Department (Operation Straight ID) and focuses exclusively on fictitious and fraudulent ID's, empowering the seller or server in the techniques of spotting such documents. It also covers all laws surrounding the sales and service of alcohol to patrons under the age of 21 and the penalties for such actions.
     

  4. State Statutes, Local Ordinances, DUI Laws: This segment covers both federal and state laws surrounding alcohol sales and services including criminal and civil liability. It also details county and municipal laws regarding closing times, liquor license provisions, and penalties, fines and procedures for violations.
     

  5. Dram Shop and Liability Insurance: Details the differences and procedures in litigation for both criminal and civil courts. It also discusses the Dram Shop/Liquor Control Act and modifications made to it over the past sixty years. Dram Shop Insurance, Vicarious Liability and Third Party Liability are also covered.
