Four L&GNSW-approved providers offer the RSA course in the Northern Rivers region, with prices ranging from $190 to $270 and typical durations of 6 hours or one day.

An RSA course, also called a responsible service of alcohol certificate, is required for anyone who sells, serves or supplies alcohol in NSW, including bar staff, venue managers and event workers. Liquor & Gaming NSW requires training through an approved provider before staff can work in licensed venues.

Providers on this page include CHS Training and Coffs Coast Community College in Grafton, BCC Tweed Community College in Mullumbimby, and ACE Community Colleges in Lismore. The resulting competency card is valid for five years before renewal is needed.
