Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) training is the foundation that qualifies you to sell, serve or supply liquor.

To sell, serve or supply alcohol in NSW, you must complete an RSA training course provided by an approved training provider. If you are new to the liquor industry or your RSA competency training took place more than five years ago, you need to complete a full training course.

The RSA course includes the national unit of competency SITHFAB002 – Provide responsible service of alcohol and NSW specific elements, covering a range of topics including:

  • NSW liquor laws and selling, serving, or supplying alcohol responsibly
  • Intoxication, including assisting customers to drink within appropriate limits, assessing alcohol affected customers and refusing service
  • Minors, including ID checks and secondary sale/supply
  • Harm minimisation strategies
  • Compliance and enforcement

We accept international students as we are a Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) approved provider.
