Yes, most of the time it is possible to transfer your RSA qualification to another state. This is known as RSA bridging. Depending on the state and territory legislation of the area you are transferring to, you may simply be able to apply online, but in other instances taking a separate, RSA bridging course may be necessary.
No, there is no online RSA training or online course. Online courses for RSA are not present anywhere in Australia and cannot be completed online.
As there is no RSA online training, it must be completed in person with a nationally accredited training organisation such as Skills Training College. The different gambling and liquor regulation laws between each state prevent an online training or an online RSA course from being a possibility.
