WHY DO I NEED THIS?
SITHFAB021 Provide Responsible Service of Alcohol is the foundation that qualifies you to sell, serve or supply liquor. To sell, serve or supply alcohol in NSW, you must complete a RSA training course provided by an Approved Training Provider.

Things you need to know
Have you completed an RSA in NSW in the last 5 years?
If you have completed an RSA course in NSW with an Approved Training Provider in the previous 5 years and obtained an interim certificate or RSA competency card, you will not be able to complete this Statement of Attainment in Responsible Service of Alcohol. Instead, contact Liquor and Gaming NSW to complete the RSA refresher course.
- During your study you will need to provide Photo ID at enrolment to enable us to generate your Interim Certificate at the end of the course.
- Liquor and Gaming NSW regulates the alcohol and gaming industry in NSW. National College of Vocational Education (NCVE) is approved by Liquor and Gaming NSW FY 2023/2024 to deliver RSA and RCG courses. At the completion of your course, present your interim certificate to Service NSW to get your competency card. This permits you to work in the industry serving, selling or supplying alcohol. This card has a 5 year expiry, at which time you will need to contact Liquor and Gaming NSW and complete a refresher course to be issued with a new RSA photo competency card.
