Do you want to work in a bar and need an RSA certificate right away? Then, the fastest and easiest way to start your Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) training is by registering for a course online with a privately owned hospitality institute.

Students registering online for an RSA course or Food Handlers & Responsible Gambling classes will be presented with all the information they need to successfully complete their training. They will also benefit from other great advantages, including:

• Taking an RSA course online is convenient. You do not have to get up early to drive to school. There are no traffic jams and you will not be driving around in circles trying to find a parking spot. Rain or shine, studying from home saves you a lot of stress and traveling time.

• As long as you have Internet access, online courses can be taken from anywhere in the world. Even if you are currently not residing in Australia, or decide to take a course while on vacation abroad, you can register for your RSA training and complete the course, even while you are tanning on the beach.

• You can balance both your job and your course. No need to take time off work, as you can take the course on your day off, or on weekends.

• Online courses are extremely beneficial to students who need their time to study. When signing up for a nationally accredited RSA course, you can study at your own speed.

• Whenever you take a break, you can log out. When you sign back in, the system will automatically remember where you were when you left. Usually, RSA courses take between 3 to 4 hours to complete.

• You do not have to put up with annoying classmates when you study online. Nobody will interrupt, and you do have to worry about idle chit chat during breaks.

Payment for online RSA courses is quite simple, provided your institute offers various payment options, such as Visa, MasterCard, or BPAY. Once the payment has been processed, students will receive a user ID and password, which they require to log into the online course.

Reputable international online educational institutes keep their students’ login details active for 12 months from the date of issue. This feature can be very useful to students who are suddenly called away from their computer, and are unable to complete their course in one session.

RSA and Food Hygiene courses are generally divided into eight sections. Each part is followed by a brief assessment. Once all eight sections have been completed, students will be asked to complete a short, ten question True/False assessment test. Do not complete the test until you are ready; you only get one go at it.

Once the course has been successfully completed, and you have received notification that you passed, you can instantly download a PDF file with your certificate. Simply print it, and you are good to go. The PDF file will also be emailed to you. Students without a printer can request to have an original certificate mailed to them. This is an option they can choose during the enrollment process. If you live in Australia, you should receive their RSA certificate within three days. International deliveries may take up to ten days.

Once you have received your RSA certificate, you can start the job hunt. Good luck!
