RSA Course Online Videos
I came across this interesting article today:
http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/wa-report-urges-crackdown-on-booze-20110623-1ggvs.html
It states: “In its final report into alcohol and drug problems in WA, the [parliamentary] committee found the state had the world’s 10th highest rate of alcohol consumption per capita.”
“The committee urged the Health Minister to change laws which would enable a minimum floor price to be set by the end of the year to prevent the sale of the cheapest forms of alcohol.
Both Woolworths and Coles were slammed by the committee for engaging in “loss leading” practices by advertising alcohol at low prices in order to attract customers in their stores.
In one case a Woolworths Dan Murphy’s store was found to be selling a bottle of wine at $1.95.”
“The committee recommended health warnings to be placed on products made in WA and limit alcohol advertising around liquor outlets, outdoors, at sporting venues and through media distributed in the state.”

WA report urges crackdown on booze
June 23, 2011 – 3:29PM
Those who have traveled will understand what is meant when it is said that Australia is a Land of many rules that are highly inforced. It may not seem that way to those who have always lived here but compared to other places this is very true. There seems to be a certificate or course needed before you can do just about anything, including serving alcohol to Patrons.
I am sure there are many theories as to why we are such a rules based society, maybe our convict past, maybe our individualist nature that means we have to have rules to ensure others are taken care off. Whatever the case as a foreign traveler it is well worth doing this course online as you can do the course before you even come to Australia. Then it is available to print out any time you need it. You may just learn a few interesting facts and also know what drinks are called in Australia.

Save Time and Money with the RSA Course Online
Working in the hospitality industry is a lot of fun for most people and these days it is pretty much mandatory in most states to have completed an RSA Course. It may seem like a hassle, but the information you learn can make doing your job much easier.
When you understand the rules and the consequences it makes it much easier to deal with a customer who has had too much to drink and is displaying inappropriate behaviour. This is becasue the RSA course gives you a greater understanding of the impact this has on the person and the other customers in the establishment. You are actually doing them a favour even though they most likely will not see that at the time.
Knowing the rules also gives you a lot more confidence. Which is very important when you are working with people who are intoxicated as they will be more likely to listen to someone who is speaking confidently and clearly.
So when you are doing the RSA course it will make a big difference to the experience of the RSA course if you think about how it will help you to feel happier and more confident in the job you are doing.
