RSA, RCG, and 5–Hour Nationally Recognised Barista Course Package in Sydney
Provide Responsible Service of Alcohol
SITHFAB021
Nationally Recognised Training
The NSW liquor laws mandate the responsible service of alcohol course for those employed in the liquor industry. These requirements reflect the importance of ensuring licensees and staff understand their obligations in serving liquor responsibly and the types of strategies that can be implemented to add value to a venue’s operations. Completing an RSA course equips individuals with the necessary skills to adhere to these regulations effectively.
Provide Responsible Gambling Services
SITHGAM022
Provide Responsible Gambling Services (RCG) is the foundation for mandatory training on responsible gambling for new hoteliers, secretary managers, and gaming-related staff. It is a requirement of the Gaming Machines Act 2001 for proposed hoteliers, secretary managers, and staff who will have gaming machine-related functions to have completed the NSW Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) and RCG courses. This course is conducted over a minimum of six hours, and there are no exemptions.
RCG training undertaken interstate is not recognized in NSW, emphasizing the need for a bar staff training course tailored to state regulations.

Recent Changes
Liquor and Gaming NSW (L&G) is the regulator of RSA/RCG courses in NSW. They have recently changed the rules governing the way they issue RCG competency cards. You now need to do the course with an approved training provider (like CBD College) and then afterwards complete an additional 25 multiple-choice questions. You will be notified by L&G by text or email after your class, and once this assessment is complete, you will be issued with an Interim Certificate. This serves as your RSA certificate until you receive your competency card at a Service NSW centre.
The issued photo card must be retained when working on any licensed premises, which is part of the essential bar work courses requirements.
Cost $499
Who Can Enrol
Anyone who has never previously held an RSA cert or whose competency card has expired for more than 28 days can enrol. Student visa holders are also eligible to enroll in these alcohol courses.
Who Cannot Enrol
Anyone who holds a current RSA/RCG competency card or whose competency card has only recently expired in the past 28 days cannot enrol. In this case, you need to refresh with Liquor and Gaming directly.

RSA Course Times
Our classes run from 8.45 am to 3.15 pm. We conduct RSA day courses every week of the year. Classes start promptly, so do not be late! We will not allow entry if you are more than 15 minutes late; in such a case, you will need to re-book and pay again for another session.
