How to renew an RSA certificate

After holding your RSA certificate for some time you may need to complete a renewal course to keep it valid. A refresher course is often required to renew RSA teachings and ensure that those who work in the hospitality industry are up-to-date with their knowledge and skills.

The process of how and when to renew your RSA certificate may vary slightly depending on the state or territory in which you live, but generally the steps are similar. Here’s our simple guide on how to renew your RSA.

 

What is an RSA?

An RSA stands for Responsible Service of Alcohol. It’s a certificate that is required in order to work in pubs, bars, and other establishments that sell or serve alcohol. Each person that works within these spaces must hold a valid RSA.

 

Where can you obtain an RSA?

You can obtain an RSA from a Registered Training Organisation such as Express Online Training. Many organisations now offer online RSA courses that allow you to complete the certificate at your own pace and from the comfort of your home.

Your NSW RSA can be renewed online. Simply fill out your details, complete the refresher training courses required and make the payment in order to renew your RSA.

Once you obtain your NT RSA, you must then renew it every three years in order for it to remain valid for use. You can renew your NT RSA by completing an approved refresher course.
