A Responsible Service of Alcohol certificate is required before you can serve, sell or supply alcohol in a licensed venue in Western Australia. This face to face course covers SITHFAB021 Provide Responsible Service of Alcohol in one 4 hour classroom session at our Northbridge training centre in Perth. You learn your legal obligations under WA liquor law, how to recognise the early signs of intoxication, how to refuse service without escalating a situation, and your duty of care to customers and the community. Pre-reading is sent to you at enrolment so you arrive ready to take part in discussion and complete your assessment on the day. Once assessed as competent you receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for SITHFAB021 from Workforce Training Group, RTO 46093. That is your RSA certificate.
To enrol in this course, you must meet the following requirements:
