RSA Course – Melbourne…

If your intention is to work in a licensed premises in Victoria, it is compulsory to obtain the RSA-Victoria Certificate as Certificates called “RSA Course Melbourne” do not exist. The Certificate course is necessary as the hospitality industry is based on people enjoying themselves in a safe environment, therefore staff employed in the service of alcohol require the knowledge and skills to ensure the customers welfare is paramount.

All RSA certificate courses aim to train staff to have the tools to handle any issues that may arise in licensed venues. There is an obligation on all staff employed in the supply of alcohol in general or late night license venues, packaged liquor outlets, on-premises suppliers to take an RSA Course to obtain their RSA certificate.
