Description of the test

The test questions are based on the guideline for serving alcoholic beverages published by National Supervisory Authority for Health and Welfare (Valvira). Participants must study independently for the test.

The test is considered approved if your score at least 80% of the maximum points. You are allowed to use a dictionary in the test, but the invigilator of the test must verify the dictionary before the test. You may not use any other materials in the test. The test can be taken in Finnish, Swedish or English. Note: The identity of a person arriving for the test will be verified. A driving licence is a valid ID.

The alcohol passport is made for those who successfully completed the test within 2 weeks from the completion of the test. TAI has switched over to digital certificates and alcohol passports. Once the digital alcohol passport is ready, you will receive a personal link from the Atomi service via email. You can download your passport to your own device through the link. The link is valid for 30 days.

You will not receive a separate notification for the results of the test. You can read more about digital certificates form this page: TAIn sähköinen opintotoimisto. If needed, please contact lemminkainen@edu.turku.fi.

The price of the test is EUR 60 (incl. VAT 25.5%) payable before the test at Cafe Wisio, Lemminkäisenkatu 14–18, A wing. You must show the receipt to the invigilator. Note: The test is free for TAI students.
