The New Mexico Alcohol Server Education Act mandates that anyone who serves, sells, manages, or owns a liquor licensed establishment in New Mexico, must possess a valid Alcohol Server Permit. C.A.S.T. classes provide all of the state-required training, to include: NM state laws and regulations, the effects of alcohol, DWI related facts and liabilities, recognizing signs of intoxication, BAC calculations for patrons, and law enforcement practices.
C.A.S.T. classes are NOT like any other offered in NM!! Instructor/Owner, Rick Sandoval (formerly with DWI Resource Center), has over 28 years of experience in the Food & Beverage and Criminal Justice fields. While with the DWI Resource Center, Mr. Sandoval worked closely with the Special Investigations Division (SID) of the Department of Public Safety, the Alcohol and Gaming Division, NMSP, BCSD, APD, and is a former Advisory Board member of the Albuquerque Police Department's Party Patrol. He also began his career as a server, licensed bartender, and bar manager (1985-1992), and participants ENJOY and APPRECIATE his COMEDIC yet professional training style.

Classes are also conveniently offerred in several communities outside the Albuquerque area, and offered almost DAILY at 7421 Menaul Blvd., NE. (Please see CLASS SCHEDULE page for more information).
New Mexico was one of the first States to enact a mandatory alcohol server certification (NM Statutes Annotated 1978, Chapter 60, Article 6E, officially known as the New Mexico Alcohol Server Education Program. The Program is often referred to as "alcohol training", "alcohol certification", "alcohol permit/license", and/or "alcohol class".
Responsible beverage service training is a valuable public safety program, and benefits our New Mexico communities in many ways. Your feedback on C.A.S.T. classes are greatly appreciated and we encourage you to please contact the Alcohol and Gaming Division with your suggestions and comments.
We hope our website, www.castofnm.com, will provide New Mexico's alcohol establishment owners, servers and sellers with useful licensed beverage training information.
New Mexico's Alcohol Server Education Program is an integral component of DWI prevention in the Land of Enchantment. Alcohol-related problems and DWI crash fatalities continue to be alarming, and New Mexico consistently ranks near the top among all States in both drug and alcohol-related deaths. This also includes: alcohol related crash fatalities, pedestrian fatalities, bicycle fatalities, and motorcycle fatalities by population.
