Help with information about Bartending School?

I've recently taken an interest in this field of life about a couple weeks ago. I'm eighteen, and want to know the rules, do/don't, etc. On some websites, they say it depends on where I live and how the state accepts it or not. I live in Oregon, and need to know any information about Bartending School. I mostly want to know if I can be my age and still attend, or do I have to wait until I'm twenty-one? Please and great thanks :)



P.S: Any tips, comments (nice one's, please), or your experience as a past/present bartender would be helpful :)Help with information about Bartending School?
You can NOT serve alcohol in Oregon unless you are over 21. You need to have an OLCC card to serve alcohol.



http://www.oregon.gov/OLCC/alcohol_serve鈥?/a>



The law now requires alcohol servers to take and pass a class in responsible alcohol service every 5 years. Oregon law requires servers to have a service permit if they mix, serve, or sell alcohol by the drink in a licensed business. Managers who supervise employees who mix, serve, or sell alcohol must also have a service permit. One of the qualifications for a service permit is to take and pass a server education class.



The Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) administers the course by certifying community colleges and private trainers to teach the server education classes. The OLCC designs, reviews, and updates the model curriculum and grades the tests. To assure accurate, quality instruction, the OLCC regularly evaluates the instructors who teach the class.



On average, providers charge each student $25 to $40 for the class.
