Apply for Bridging Course - Eligibility Check

To work in some liquor licensed locations in Victoria, you must have a Victorian RSA certificate.

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

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

To apply for the bridging course, you must have completed:

  • an RSA training program approved by a state or territory liquor licensing authority
  • the RSA training within the last 3 years
  • RSA training that permits you to work in any class/type of licensed premises.

If your interstate RSA training does not meet the above 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 3-5 working days to process your bridging course application.

Please note that the above requirements do not apply to interstate staff supplying liquor at producers' events. The producers' events are one-off or short-term events for which either a current Certificate of Completion or a Statement of Attainment from the Nationally Accredited Training unit (either SITHFAB009A, SITHFAB201, SITHFAB002 or SITHFAB021) are acceptable.

When you press the submit button on the next page, you declare that at the time of course completion you were an interstate resident (residing in any state or territory other than Victoria) or you were residing internationally and completing an online course to work in a state other than Victoria.
