RSA Course NSW

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 Liquor and Gaming NSW (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: Students on a student visa (subclass 500) 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?

You can apply for the Liquor and Gaming NSW Photo Competency Card at participating Service NSW outlets when you present your interim certificate and 100 points of identification.

The card cost of $70 is included in the course cost.
