Course Description
Managing licensed premises is an important job with much responsibility. As the licensee or manager of venue operating in a higher risk environment, you have additional obligations and responsibilities.
Research shows that assaults at licensed premises are likely to occur and more frequently, between midnight and 3.00am. Running a large and complex event, such as a music festival, also carries increased risk.
There is a lot you can do to prevent alcohol-related harms from occurring as a result of your business activities.
You have a responsibility to work within your business, to take a risk-based approach and lead your staff as well as engage with your local or broader community, to both reduce the harm associated with alcohol and contribute to creating a sustainable and vibrant industry.
Non-compliance with the NSW liquor laws can result in the suspension or cancellation of your licence and you can be banned from holding a liquor licence or having a financial interest in a licence for a significant period of time.
This course will give you the skills and tools to avoid this while operating in a higher risk environment. It is designed to help you:
- Understand and carry out your legal responsibilities as a licensee operating in a higher risk environment;
- Analyse and minimise the risks relevant to your liquor licence; and
- Manage, operate and lead a successful licensed business.
We want you to be a great risk manager and leader for your business.
The course is broken into five (5) learning areas.
At the end of the course you should understand:
- Liquor regulation in higher risk environments
- How to lead a culture of compliance
- Government and industry approaches to reducing alcohol related harms
- How to minimise the risk of alcohol related harms in your business
- The best practice strategies for control risks in your business.
To complete this course, you need:

You are required to meet complex legislative requirements in relation to the sale, service and supply of liquor in your business. While your RSA course will have provided you with a basic understanding of this, your legislative responsibilities as a licensee go far beyond that, highlighting the need for further training.
Additionally, if you work in a business that operates in potentially higher risk environments such as those trading after midnight, you carry added responsibilities that require further tailored training.
The NSW government committed to the introduction of a tiered industry training framework to strengthen and enhance liquor industry training standards by building on the existing RSA training. Liquor & Gaming NSW has worked closely with industry peak bodies, NSW Police and select registered training organisations (including us) to design this new training framework to ensure it meets your training needs.
The Liquor Regulation 2018 introduced the tiered industry training framework which includes two new levels of licensee training that are designed to support you in meeting your compliance obligations and implementing strategies to improve your business operations while providing safe and vibrant environments for your customers. These are:
- Licensee training, which is designed for licensees, approved managers and club secretaries, and
- Advanced Licensee training, which is an additional course for licensees, approved managers and club secretaries operating businesses in higher risk environments.
Completion of this course requires the completion of a number of steps. The steps are:
- complete online content, learning activities and multiple-choice questions
- participate in an online discussion forum (held weekly)
- complete the written assessment
- participate in a one-on-one live assessment with a trainer.
Online Content
The course is broken down into small, manageable sections designed to improve your learning. Each section includes learning activities and case studies.
At the end of each section is a multiple-choice quiz. You are required to get all the questions in a section before moving to the next section. You will be given feedback on questions you answered incorrectly.
If you answer any questions incorrectly (yes, even one!), you will be returned to the beginning of the assessment to attempt ALL the questions for that section again. You can review the learning materials during the assessment. You can take the test as many times as you need.
Online Discussion Forum
After completion of the online content, you can book into the next available online discussion forum. The aim of this forum is enabling group discussion and engagement with industry peers, a key objective of the learner experience.
Written questions can be completed after participation in an online discussion forum.
Watch the video below to learn how to book into an online discussion forum. Click here
Written Questions
Short answer responses are drawn from all parts of the course. They require a few sentences or brief dot points.
Complete a risk assessment and risk register.
The written assessment is marked the next business day after submission.
The online video assessment can be booked after competently completing the written questions.
Live Assessment – Online One-On-One Interview
When you are competent in the written assessment, you have access to book into your live assessment with a trainer.
Liquor and Gaming NSW require your knowledge of the following key concepts is assessed:
- purpose and objectives of the course

This assessment is completed with your trainer. Online students will meet this requirement in a 15-minute video call.
Book an appointment time with your trainer after you are marked competent in the written questions.
