An RSA course, the responsible service of alcohol qualification, is required for anyone in NSW who sells, serves or supplies alcohol, including bar and venue staff, bottle shop workers and event organisers. On this page, 44 Liquor & Gaming NSW-approved providers across the state offer the course from $145 to $320, with typical durations ranging from 12 hours in a single day up to two or six days depending on the format and provider.
Courses are delivered either face-to-face or online, and most result in a competency card once the training is completed and logged. The RSA competency card issued in NSW is valid for five years from the date it is granted, after which it needs to be renewed.
Providers on this page are spread across metropolitan Sydney and regional NSW, so options exist whether you need a course close to home or prefer an online format you can complete remotely.
