Why choose NCVE

Real training. Real trainers. A ticket that holds up.

RCG is a live, trainer-led class in NSW — it cannot be completed as self-paced online learning. Here is what that day gives you.

Liquor & Gaming NSW approved

Only an L&GNSW Approved Training Provider can issue the interim certificate you need for a NSW competency card. NCVE is one, RTO 90283. A course from a provider without that approval will not get you a card.

Certified the same day

Pass and walk away with your nationally recognised Statement of Attainment and interim certificate the same day.

Online or face-to-face

Live, trainer-led sessions via Zoom, or in person at venues across NSW. Our classes move around the state — the list above shows every date and location currently scheduled.

A live class, not a self-paced module

RCG runs as a scheduled day with a named trainer who has worked on the gaming floor — by Zoom or in person. Already done your RSA online with us? Say so when you book.

Nationally recognised

SITHGAM022 is a nationally recognised unit — your Statement of Attainment is accepted across Australia (gaming rules differ by state).

💳

Flexible payment

Afterpay and ZipPay available, so you can get certified now and pay over time.

Who it’s for

Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone working — or looking to work — in gaming areas of NSW venues: pubs, clubs and hotels with gaming machines (pokies), a TAB or keno. If your role involves operating gaming machines, paying out winnings, or supervising a gaming room, you need your RCG. Whether you’re starting in hospitality or upskilling for a current role, this course gets you qualified in a single day. Please bring your valid, current NSW photo ID on the first day of training.

How it’s delivered

How the course is delivered

Choose the format that suits you best. Our face-to-face classes run at venues across NSW — Wollongong, Nowra, Parramatta and regularly along the South Coast — delivered over one full day in the classroom. We move around the state, so check the class list above for the dates and locations currently scheduled. Our virtual classroom option is delivered live via Zoom over one full day, so you can complete your RCG from home. Both formats combine theory and practical learning led by experienced industry trainers, with individual learning support throughout the course.

Before you start

What you need to enrol

#

A USI

A free Unique Student Identifier — required for any nationally recognised course. We can’t issue your certificate without it.

💳

Photo ID

Current driver licence, NSW Photo Card, proof-of-age card or passport (not expired more than 3 months).

A unique email

Your own email address — it becomes your login and can’t be shared with another student.

🎥

A device with a camera

For the video part of assessment, where you respond to real-world gaming-floor scenarios. Part of the nationally required assessment.

Assessment is a mix of multiple-choice questions, short written answers, and a short video task so we can verify your skills — guided by a real trainer the whole way. Learners under 18 need parental consent.

How long does an RCG last in NSW? Your competency card is valid for five years. To renew, you complete the free refresher administered by Liquor & Gaming NSW through Service NSW — a refresher is done via L&GNSW, not through an RTO, and re-sitting a full course won’t extend your card.
