Our RSA course NSW gives you the skills and knowledge to responsibly serve alcohol in licensed venues across New South Wales. Delivered in just one day, this nationally recognised course provides both a Statement of Attainment and eligibility for your NSW RSA competency card. At just $225 — with Afterpay and ZipPay available — it’s the most flexible way to get qualified. Choose face-to-face training at one of our NSW locations, or study from home via our live virtual Zoom classroom.

Plenty of sites sell a cheap, auto-marked online RSA. Here’s what you get from an established, NSW-approved RTO.
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.
Pass and walk away with your nationally recognised Statement of Attainment and interim certificate the same day.
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.
This is our trainer-led one-day course, guided by a trainer who has worked behind the bar. If you would rather work through it in your own time, our self-paced online RSA is $145 and leads to the same qualification and the same card.
SITHFAB021 is a nationally recognised unit — your Statement of Attainment is accepted across Australia (some states need a bridging course).

Please bring your valid, current NSW photo ID on the first day of training.
Choose the format that suits you best.
