Gain an overview of your legal responsibility, liability and duty of care to patrons by learning how to provide responsible service of alcohol (RSA).

Delivered at our specialist hospitality and tourism facility, Drysdale, this one-day short course is a legal requirement for anyone working with alcohol products in the Hospitality industry.

In this course, you will learn about the service of alcohol and the law, as well as your legal responsibilities in providing service of alcohol to customers (RSA). You’ll also learn how to sell and serve alcohol, and provide accurate information according to organisation or house policy and government legislation.

Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to serve alcohol responsibly and how to assist a patron to drink within appropriate limits, as well as identify alcohol-affected customers and ways to refuse to provide alcohol to those customers who are intoxicated.

You’ll also learn how to use appropriate communication and conflict resolution skills to handle difficult situations, and how to refer difficult situations beyond the scope of your own responsibility to the appropriate person.

On successful completion of this short course, you will receive a Statement of Attainment for the units successfully completed, and have the skills you need to provide responsible service of alcohol in a wide range of contexts.

Entry Fees, payments and other costs

Your tuition fees cover the basic materials needed for your course, but may not cover items such as text books, workbooks, uniform, online learning resources or personal protective clothing. Depending on your course, there may also be other expenses that you need to budget for.

For courses undertaken in 12 months or less, you will be invoiced the full course fee (including any other essential fees associated with your course).

*For courses studied over multiple years, your course and other fees will be split over the years of study, with the concession fee being charged on a yearly basis. At the time of enrolment you will be invoiced for the first year’s fees. An invoice will be raised in each subsequent year around the same time as your ‘enrolment anniversary’.

Recognition of prior learning and skills

It makes sense that you should be recognised for the things you already know how to do.

TasTAFE can assess your skills and knowledge based on your previous education, work history or life experience – which may help you to gain your qualification a whole lot faster!

More information on the recognition process is available on our recognition of prior learning and skills page.

Assessment methods

Assessments are designed to help you demonstrate the skills and knowledge you learn in your course and are an essential part of your training. Assessments allow us to confirm that you can perform tasks to the standard required in the workplace, and that you can meet all of the requirements of your course.

While studying at TasTAFE, you may be assessed in a number of different ways. Some common assessment methods include:

completing workplace documents
observations on the job and/or in a simulated assessment environment
quizzes/multiple choice tests
research projects
tests – written or practical
verbal questioning
work samples
written assignments or short answers.

What will I need to bring?

Make sure you are prepared for each class and bring standard items like pens, paper/notebook, USB etc.

Depending on your course, you might need access to a computer with Microsoft Software Suite and internet and a current email address. TasTAFE has computer labs at regional campuses which are open for students to access during normal business hours.
