RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol)

This Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) Training Program was released by the Queensland Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing (OLGR) on the 1st February 2009 in response to the mandatory training requirements of the Liquor and Other Acts Amendment Act 2008.

If you intend to work in the QLD, WA, NT or SA hospitality industry in a position that requires you to serve alcohol, it is now mandatory to hold a current accredited Responsible Service of Alcohol RSA Certificate.

RSA Australia

If you want to work in a position where you will be serving alcohol anywhere in Australia you need your RSA certificate.  All States in Australia have RSA certificate requirements.  Our RSA certificate is fully accredited in all Australian states that accept online training - including Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory.

New South Wales and Victoria do not accept RSA certificates from any other state, and do not allow their RSA certificates to be attained online.  Other states do not accept certificates from NSW or Victoria either.  So if you are planning to travel around Australia you may need more than one RSA certificate.

RSA Course

Our online RSA Course is 100% online and self paced.  Start for free in seconds, and resume it at any time. It takes an average of 2-3 hours to complete, but for those who already have some RSA knowledge it can often be completed much faster.

The RSA course is split into 4 sections.  At the beginning of each section you are shown a series of slides containing RSA course notes, images and videos.  You can return to these slides at any time.

The RSA questions are all in multiple-choice or true/false format.  You do not need to type or have to worry about your spelling.

If you get any RSA questions wrong you will be notified immediately and get another chance to get it right.  If you get the same question wrong a second time you will not be able to continue until you are contacted by an RSA trainer.  This is usually done immediately by email.

RSA Certificate

The RSA certificate is provided by the Queensland government, but is also fully recognised by governments and businesses in Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory.

Upon completion of the RSA course you will be provided with an accredited RSA certificate as well as a nationally recognised RSA statement of attainment.

The RSA certificate and RSA statement of attainment are provided as an instantly downloadable file that you can print whenever you need it.

RSA certificates are valid for 3 years and then the RSA course needs to be completed again.

RSA Online

Until recently RSA courses were all done in person.  They were often slow and boring and could take all day.  Now you can get the same RSA certificate 100% online in the comfort of your own home and complete the RSA course at your speed.

RSA online courses can also be significantly cheaper than the face-to-face course as there are fewer expense involved for the registered training organisation.

RSA Online QLD

The certificate given by RSA online QLD courses is the most popular RSA certificate in Australia as it is the most cost effective, most widely recognised and provided in the easiest format.

The RSA Online QLD certificate is exactly the same as the old face-to-face RSA certificate and is recognised in WA, SA, and NT just as the other RSA certificate is.

Queensland rsa online

The Office of Liquor and Gaming (OLGR) in QLD has made Queensland RSA online courses one of the best ways to get your RSA certificate in Australia.  Make sure that when you do your Queensland RSA online course you do it with a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) who display the Nationally Recognised Training logo on their website.
