Sydney has 9 Liquor & Gaming NSW-approved providers offering the RSA course, with prices from $149 to $320 and most sessions completed in a single day, ranging from 6 to 12 hours depending on the provider.

The RSA, or responsible service of alcohol certificate, is required for anyone serving, selling or supplying alcohol in licensed venues across New South Wales, including bar staff, waiters and venue managers. It is also commonly requested for events and functions involving alcohol service.

Providers listed on this page are approved by Liquor & Gaming NSW, and the resulting competency card is valid for 5 years from the date of issue. After this period, a new course is required to renew the certification, regardless of how the original training was delivered.
