COVID-19 Action Plan

In line with the federal government’s quarantine plan, we have changed our operations:

  • We have increased sanitising of all surfaces and classrooms
  • We have reduced the number of students in each class to be in line with the government’s requirements
  • Anyone with signs of infection is refused entry into the classroom
  • We are keeping our operations going at a significantly decreased capacity to allow our clients and students to get qualifications to start work during and straight after this crisis passes

We remind all the participants to follow health guidelines:

  • Stay home if you feel unwell or recently visited (14 days) areas where COVID-19 is spreading
  • If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance
  • Follow the directions of your local health authority

We appreciate your support during these difficult times for our country and the world.

FAQ

You can complete the RSA course at any age, even under 18 years old as having the photo competency card may be a requirement from your employer. You may not serve alcohol until you are 18 years old however.

If you fail a final assessment, you will have to participate in a course again and complete another test. You will receive an email within 24hrs with the details on how and when you can do a second attempt. Please note that fee applies.

If you card has expired, you need to understake a special L&GNSW online refresher course to update your licence within 28 days.

If you did not update it within this period, you need to do a full RSA course again.

Please find the details on how to renew your card on a Service NSW website.

No, it is free of charge. This fee is already included in your course fee. However, you will need to order your competency card by yourself in a Service NSW centre.

No. An expiry date indicates the date after which you cannot sell, serve or supply liquor in any licensed premises using an interim certificate. However, you still can use this certificate to order your competency card in Service NSW center at any time within 5 years of a course completion.

After a successful completion of an RSA course, you will receive an interim RSA certificate via email within 24hrs. Take this certificate along with 100 points of I.D. (see details on the certificate) to the nearest Service NSW centre to order your competency card. Then a card will be sent to you via post.

You can find more information on how to apply for a competency card on a Service NSW website.
