Learn how to legally serve alcohol in Victoria.

This course will give you all the knowledge for you to achieve an RSA certificate from Liquor Control Victoria (LCV). You’ll gain an understanding of the legal requirements of serving alcohol in Victoria. You’ll also learn about the major problems around excessive consumption of alcohol, under-age drinking, drinking and driving, and serving alcohol outside of legal hours.
On successful completion, you will receive a Statement of Attainment for this course, and you'll receive a Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certificate from Liquor Control Victoria (LCV). You will be certified to serve alcohol at bars, restaurants and bottle shops.
If you are under 18 years of age at the time of completing the course, you will only receive a Statement of Attainment for this course and you will not receive an RSA certificate from LCV.
