Classroom or Online
The Responsible Service of Alcohol (SITHFAB002-Provide responsible service of alcohol) otherwise known as RSA is delivered by BarMax in either classroom (face to face) format or online format.
Both forms of delivery provide exactly the same eligibility for a NSW Photo Competency Card as issued by L&GNSW
Whereas the Classroom format will take 1 day, the online format allows for self paced learning in the location of your choosing with additional requirements to validate your identity with a certified copy of Photo ID
(see example) and a completed
‘Statutory Declaration’ form.
Note: Barmax is not registered with CRICOS and as such unable to conduct training & assessment for students on a student visa (subclass 500) thus are not eligible for enrolment.

Can I work straight after completing my course?
Once you have successfully completed and passed your course it will take between 24 and 48 hours for you to receive your ‘interim certificate’. This certificate will enable you to work on licenced premises for 90 days. During this time you must apply for your Photo Competency Card or you wont be able to work after the 90 days are expired until you apply for your card using the Interim certificate supplied.
How do I get my Photo Competency Card?
After completion of the course you will receive an Interim Certificate (2 page document ). The first page allows you to legally work for 90 days 1st page. The second page is valid for 5 years and contains a bar-code.
After receipt of your Interim Certificate, you must visit participating Service NSW outlets , present your interim (2nd page with bar-code) along with 100 points of ID.
Service NSW will then verify your identity and a photo will be taken and added to your profile for processing. Cards take 3-4 weeks to arrive hence the 90 day validity on the first page of the interim.
You can also download the Service NSW App onto your phone and setup your Digital ID (Valid for working) on your phone typically within 24 hours of visiting Service NSW.
The cost of the card is $85 and is included in the course cost.
