What is Responsible Serving of Alcohol training?
Responsible Serving of Alcohol training teaches people who serve or supervise alcohol how to do so safely and responsibly. It covers topics such as alcohol and its effects, standard drinks, intoxication, underage sales, checking identification, intervention techniques and refusing service.
Who should complete Responsible Serving of Alcohol training in Ireland?
The training is suitable for bartenders, waiting staff, restaurant employees, hotel staff, event staff, supervisors, managers, licence holders and others involved in serving alcohol on licensed premises.
Is Responsible Serving of Alcohol training a legal requirement in Ireland?
Irish law places legal responsibilities on licence holders in relation to alcohol service, including restrictions on supplying alcohol to people under 18 and supplying alcohol to a drunken person. There is not a single statutory RSA certificate that automatically authorises someone to serve alcohol, but responsible service training can form an important part of a business's staff training and compliance procedures.
What age must someone be to buy alcohol in Ireland?
A person must be 18 or over to purchase alcohol in Ireland. It is an offence to sell or supply alcohol to somebody under the age of 18, which is why effective age verification is an important part of responsible alcohol service.
What will I learn on the Responsible Serving of Alcohol course?
You'll learn about standard drinks, Blood Alcohol Concentration, how alcohol affects the body, recognising signs of intoxication, checking ID, preventing underage alcohol sales, monitoring customers, intervening appropriately and refusing service when necessary.
Can alcohol be served to an intoxicated customer in Ireland?
Irish law states that a licence holder must not supply, or permit another person to supply, intoxicating liquor to a drunken person or for consumption by a drunken person. The course explains how staff can recognise warning signs and intervene before situations escalate.
How long does the Responsible Serving of Alcohol course take?
The online course takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. Learners can work through the training at their own pace and access it online.
Do I receive a Responsible Serving of Alcohol certificate?
Yes. After successfully completing the course and assessment, you'll receive a downloadable Certificate of Completion confirming that you have completed Responsible Serving of Alcohol training.
Can I complete Responsible Serving of Alcohol training online?
Yes. The course is delivered completely online, allowing learners to complete the training on a computer, tablet or compatible mobile device without attending a classroom course.
Can businesses purchase Responsible Serving of Alcohol training for multiple employees?
Yes. Businesses can purchase multiple licences for staff and use the training as part of their alcohol service and staff development programme. This is particularly useful for pubs, hotels, restaurants, event venues and other businesses where employees serve alcohol.
