Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) Standards: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn the requirements for alcohol service training, including who needs certification and how recognition varies between different states.
This scheme sets the training requirements for anyone working in environments where alcohol is served to ensure responsible service practices.
Who it's for
This applies to all staff members who are responsible for serving alcohol.
What you get
You will receive formal training designed to meet industry standards. The cost for a training course typically ranges from $50 to $150.
What it costs you
You will need to pay for the training course yourself or through your employer.
The catch to know
An RSA certificate issued in one state is not always automatically recognized if you move to or work in a different state. You should check the specific requirements for the location where you intend to work.
How to apply
- Confirm which state or territory you will be working in.
- Find a registered training provider that meets that specific state's requirements.
- Complete the required training course.
- Keep your certificate on hand to prove your qualification to employers.
