SITHFAB021 PROVIDE RESPONSIBLE SERVICE OF ALCOHOL
Unit/Course Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to responsibly sell, serve or supply alcohol.
Responsible practices must be undertaken wherever alcohol is sold, served or supplied, including where alcohol samples are served during on-site product tastings. This unit therefore applies to any workplace where alcohol is sold, served or supplied, including all types of hospitality venues, packaged liquor outlets and wineries, breweries and distilleries.
The unit applies to all levels of personnel involved in the sale, service, including promotional service and supply of alcohol in licensed premises. Those selling or serving alcohol may include food and beverage attendants; packaged liquor salespersons selling in person, over the phone or online; winery, brewery and distillery cellar door staff; delivery services and supplier sales representatives. The unit also applies to security staff who monitor customer behaviour and to the licensee who is ultimately responsible for responsible service of alcohol (RSA) management.
The unit incorporates the knowledge requirements, under state and territory liquor licensing law, for employees engaged in the sale, service or supply of alcohol.
Certification requirements differ across states and territories. In some cases, all people involved in the sale, service including promotional service and supply of alcohol in licensed premises must be certified in this unit. This can include the licensee and security staff.
This unit covers the RSA skill and knowledge requirements common to all States and Territories. Some legislative requirements and knowledge will differ across borders. In some cases, after completion of this unit, state and territory liquor authorities require candidates to complete a bridging course to address these specific differences.
Those developing training to support this unit must consult the relevant state or territory liquor licensing authority to determine any accreditation arrangements for courses, trainers and assessors.

The course is broken down into small, manageable sections designed to improve your learning. At the end of each section is a multiple-choice quiz. Assessment for this course comprises online quizzes and case studies.
You are required to get all questions in a section before moving to the next section. You will be given feedback on questions you answered incorrectly.

Details of how the assessment works, will be covered at the end of this section, but before you begin the assessment.
Written Questions
Read the question and type your answer in the box below. These questions draw from all parts of the course.
Video Assessment
The video assessment questions require you to video yourself speaking to a range of customers as you would in the workplace and submitting these videos as part of your assessment.
Why do we ask for this? As part of the national unit of competency, we need to be able to assess your ability to engage with customers and what you would say to them in a variety of scenarios. We are not evaluating your acting skills, we just need to ensure that you can complete the task as you would in the workplace.
You are required to be 100% visible in each video assessment. We match the person in the video, to the photo ID you upload during the ID verification process.
To complete the video questions, you need one (1) of the following:
- Smartphone with internet access and video camera.
- Webcam
Record in the LOWEST resolution possible. Detailed instructions of how to use the video software is provided in the course. It’s a breeze!
There are some optional extras available with this course:
