Barista courses? (1 Viewer)

[4025808]

Where can you do a barista course that will get you a qualification that allows you to make coffee at a coffee shop? Also, how much will doing such a program cost?

A coffee course allows you to become a 'barista' i.e. work in a coffee shop. The extra is for art and higher qualification etc

Coffee Course + Barista = $120

My friend did this one for $250

but I'm not so sure about the others, because this one is very exclusive and seems to be high standard, which my friend told me it was.

Do it only if you are actually willing to spend the money and earn it back by actually making coffee's!

I wouldn't mind, but then again is the qualification TAFE accredited? :O

Well ofc, after I get the certificate, I'm defs going to find a job as a barista from there.

TAFE runs a few barista courses..dunno how much they cost though

If you apply for a job at your local RSL or sports club, they'll pay for you to do the courses. Well they do it for your RSA and RCG... I assume they would do the same for working in the coffee section of the club.

Apparently, the 'best' coffee course certificate is the official one from Gloria Jeans.

Once you work there for a year or so, they test you and if you pass, they give you a proper certificate, which is more highly regarded than the ones that you just pay for and then receive.

The problem now is getting a job at Gloria Jeans lol.

I did the Coffee School one. It wasn't too bad. So much milk is wasted though. It was actually the moment I started drinking coffee more often. Must have had 5+ cups in the span of an hour. This is because you can drink whatever you make.

Did you end up getting a job as a barista? :O

Nah, I found tutoring to be a far more interesting job.

If you're 18, Gloria Jeans pays you $14.63 per hour when your first start. They don't pay too well.

My friend who works at Gloria Jeans told me that he gets paid around $18-$20 an hour :O

How long has he been working there, and how old is he?

 

[4025808]

worked there for a year and he's 19-20 years old

 

[Carrotsticks]

Yeah, the older you are the more you get paid.

Also they take into account how long you work there.

imo I wouldn't enjoy working at a cafe.
