The Responsible Service Of Alcohol Training(RSA) certificate is something most employees involved in the sale or services of alcohol in Australia need to have.
The RSA certificate is obtainable upon successful completion of an RSA training program. Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) supply the training course online or in person. RTOs are situated all through the nation and are accredited to deliver the teaching in different states and territories by the individual liquor authorities.
Each and every state and territory has its very own liquor authority, so the RSA requirements can differ depending on which state or territory you’re operating or living in. The nationally recognised training course Provide Responsible Service of Alcohol (SITHFAB009A) is what RTOs are accredited to produce.
However, some states and territories, the ACT, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland, require an RTO be accredited by their liquor authority ensuring the organisation can present an RSA certificate for successful completion of The Responsible Service Of Alcohol Course (SITHFAB009A).
Meanwhile in WA, NT, and SA the unit of competency, attained in any state or territory, is an RSA qualification.
In SA the unit of competency, no matter where obtained, is a component of the State’s application process to turn into an Accredited Responsible Person. Each state and territory liquor authority supplies a record of RTOs that they have accredited to supply RSA teaching relevant to their area on the web.
This data is also offered at the Federal Government’s National Training Information Service (NTIS), an online teaching register open to the public.
The RSA training teaches employees:
· How to responsibly provide alcohol
· How to responsibly sell alcohol
· How to encourage responsible consumption of alcohol
· How to aid a particular person affected by alcohol excessive consumption
· When it is suitable to refuse a particular person services
The RSA certificate is awarded on the successful completion of this training course and is far more than a license to operate behind a bar. Capabilities learnt for the duration of the RSA training are important tools of the trade and teach best practice. Many state and territory liquor authorities have announced their introduction of mandatory RSA training to create a protected mindset towards alcohol in communities.
In all states and territories you can get your RSA certificate on the web or in person by way of an RTO. Apart from Tasmania, wherever the State’s liquor authority accepts only in person RSA courses.
Online the training takes up to 3 hrs to complete, following which you can merely print out your RSA certificate. Even though in person the program can take between three and 6 hours to do, the RTO trainer will then provide you with your RSA certificate.
