Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) can apply to provide Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) and Responsible Conduct of Gambling (RCG) courses for individuals who wish to work in the liquor and gaming industry in NSW.
RTOs can apply to provide training in a classroom and online. Approved training providers must reapply each year to maintain their approval to provide RSA and RCG training and to retain access to the course management online portal.
