Overview
The Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) is a mandatory certificate for anyone working in environments where alcohol is sold or served in Australia. From bars and restaurants to hotels, bottle shops, and event venues — holding an RSA is often a legal requirement before you can start working.
At ITEC, we provide a short, non-accredited RSA course designed to give you practical understanding, legal awareness, and job-ready confidence — all delivered in a professional, flexible format.
