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?

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.

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.

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