Responsible Service of Alcohol
RSA Perth…
Attaining your Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) WA certificate is an essential requirement for those working in the liquor industry throughout Western Australia. There are no specific ‘RSA Perth’ certificate courses available; however if you plan to work in Western Australia, and specifically Perth, it is essential you obtain your RSA-WA or the Nationally accredited certification. The course aims to ensure that staff who are selling, supplying or serving alcohol have the basic skills and knowledge of dealing with alcohol, and aim to provide their patrons with a safe and enjoyable environment.
