What is RSA training?
RSA – more formally referred to as Responsible Service of Alcohol – is a national standard that focuses on serving and supplying alcohol safely and legally, dependent on state and territory legislation. In your RSA Course Adelaide, you’ll learn about the importance of duty of care, which is a legal obligation imposed on an individual, requiring you to adhere to a standard of reasonable care while performing any acts that could foreseeably harm others.
This course covers all the South Australian government regulations that relate to the provision of alcohol. You’ll also learn appropriate limits, the early warning signs of intoxication, and what to do when it is time to stop serving someone.
You must have formal RSA training in order to work in any licenced environment, including airlines. The venue you work in will be required to obtain acceptable proof that you have undergone the course as part of their licensing requirements. The purpose of this standard is to reduce the harms caused by excess alcohol consumption and to help reduce the liability of licenced premises when it comes to their patrons.
The RSA Course Adelaide is officially known as SITHFAB021, Provide responsible service of alcohol, and is recognised nationally. Registered training organisations (RTOs) like Barista Course Adelaide are the only type of business that can provide training in this area that is accredited.
Our RSA Course Adelaide is tailored to South Australia’s legislation.

Why should I do barista training?
Making coffee is an art these days. If you want to be a barista, some training and education will go a long way. It stands out to employers not only because it shows that you’ve got the skills but also because you are committed enough to take on more responsibility in your job. Having barista training is distinguishing for potential employees as this means they have an interest in continuing their learning or improving themselves professionally.
In addition, if you’re working in any kind of food and beverage services, it’s crucial that you understand the basics of food hygiene, preparation and best practices for service.
Do I need an RSA to work in licensed premises?
Absolutely. You will need an RSA to work in licenced premises, whether you are working in food and beverage service, security personnel, bottle shop staff and alcohol reps.
Some states and territories allow grace periods for certification following employment, however, if you’re working in South Australia, you must have successfully completed an RSA course and received your responsible service of alcohol certificate before commencing employment in the liquor industry.
Which RSA / Barista course should I do?
There is one standard accredited course accepted nationally, and it’s the SITHFAB021, Provide responsible service of alcohol. Don’t be tricked into doing a cheap introductory course because it won’t give you the certification that is required.

Will my RSA expire?
