Apply for bridging course - eligibility check

To work in some liquor licensed locations in Victoria, you must have a Victorian RSA Certificate of Completion (RSA certificate).

If you have completed RSA training in another state, you can apply on this page to have your credentials recognised in Victoria.

If you are enrolling in the RSA course for the first time, complete a Victorian approved RSA course with a provider listed on our website.

To apply for the bridging course, you must have:

• completed RSA training within the last 3 years
• been an interstate resident (residing in any state or territory other than Victoria) or living overseas at the time you completed the course
• completed an RSA training program approved by a state or territory liquor licensing authority.

You will need to attach documents to prove you meet the above criteria. If your interstate RSA training does not meet the criteria, we will decline your application.

If your bridging application is approved, you will receive further instructions on how to obtain your Victorian RSA Certificate.

It usually takes 10 working days to process your bridging course application.

You do not need to do a bridging (RSA Refresher) course if you are an interstate liquor producer that holds a temporary limited or major event licence for the supply of alcohol at a one-off or short-term event.

At these events, we accept either a current Victorian RSA certificate or Statement of Attainment for the nationally accredited training unit 'Provide Responsible Service of Alcohol' (SITHFAB201, SITHFAB002 or SITHFAB021).
