[slip]

Hey im going to rsa and rcg courses this week, i was just wondering what to wear to it.

 

[hipsta_jess]

You wear whatever you want. Some people dress like they're going to a job interview (very very very few) whereas most just wear thongs, jeans and a tee.
However, if you do a practical bar course, you may have to wear all black (doesn't matter what you wear, so long as its black)

thanks for the quick reply, big help. repped.

i did my rsa in gosford, and there where so many people who looked like bums and alcoholics. so doesnt matter at all what u wear. i wore parachute pants and shirt.

Anybody gone to the ones run by Australian Training Solutions? It's in the Dymocks building in the city. Went today to book for this Friday.

I want to know if it's any good.

 

[SashatheMan]

hey how much is the RCG ? is it more expensive then the RSA?

 

[LazyBoy]

at alex bauemont in parra they are 75 each i think. i did both, its a complete joke really i did a test for both.. it was open book.. and people just call out the questions n such.

 

[LazyBoy]

not n ecessarily a tafe course. but yeah, smart casual is always best.

got my rsa today. Took from 9.30am - 4pm ish. Soooo long. And I had a hangover.

pretty 'responsible' huh? But yeah, the lecturer person was heaps funny, so that helped. But sitting there for hours (even if we did get breaks) was friggin driving me crazy, I cant wait for the bar course next week.

But the thing is, the class = about 25 people. They run it 11 times a week. Not only thinking how much money they would make just off that each week, but just how many jobs will be left by the time I get out of there! 3/4 of the class were from overseas - UK, Ireland, etc. Mostly Ireland. Why am i not surprised?

 

[thejosiekiller]

how much did it cost you? and where exactly did u book it at the dymocks building? im confuzzled

 

[breaking]

usually costs like between $60 and $90 to do RSA

 

[Sasky]

It's run by the Australian Training Solutions, it's situated on the 7th floor of the Dymocks Building.

Here's the prices:

RSA - $85
RSG - $75
RSA & RSG - $140
RSA & F&B - $180
RSA & BAR SKILLS - $180
BAR SKILLS & F&B - $230

The combo ones saves around $20.

i did my RSA with my cousin at alexbeaumont ( www.alexbeaumont.com available in parramatta and city location ) for $70. pretty good although a bit tedious it was funny as well.

is it worth it in the end?

i dont know if there is a point in doing it and finding it hard to get a job bartending

 

[hipsta_jess]

It depends where you are. It can be reallllllllly hard to get a bar job with no experience (as I am finding, even though I did a bar course), although I hear they're "literally giving away jobs" in Sydney

I'm gonna find out soon enough.

 

[thejosiekiller]

oh another question

im full of questions tonight for some reason

is it harder for a guy or a girl to get a bartending job?

 

[hipsta_jess]

I think if you're a chick and drop dead gorgeous, you will get a job no problems.

 

[thejosiekiller]

i thought as much

but i wouldnt have it any other way- girl pouring me beer is heaven

RSA is usually required if you want to be a waiter in a restaurant etc.............
