About NSW Competency Card
NSW provides the one Competency Card for RSA and RCG. If you already have a NSW RSA competency card, on completion of your RCG course you will automatically be sent a new card with your updated competencies.
Note: in NSW all competencies must expire on the same date, calculated five years from the first competency gained e.g. if your RSA competency expires in June 2023, even if you gain your RCG competency in June 2020 both competencies will still have an expiration date of June 2023. This ensures all your competencies are current and expire on the same date.
If you are due for a RSA renewal, we recommend first completing that and then doing the RCG course. That way your RCG remains valid for as close to 5 years as possible.
If you don’t currently have an RSA Competency Card, you may require both RSA and RCG for your role. If so, then you can complete both courses with CTA and save $20. View our RSA RCG bundle for more information.
If you only require your RCG Competency Card, then this is the course for you. Upon completion, you will receive a Statement of Attainment from us. Additionally, we let Liquor & Gaming NSW know that you have completed the RCG course and they will send you an additional assessment that needs to be completed prior to receiving your Interim Certificate.
This Interim Certificate is valid for 90 days can be used to get your Competency Card from your local NSW Services centre.
