rsa/rcg/bar (1 Viewer)

[hipsta_jess]

ok, so I'm doing my RSA/RCG/bar course this week (Wed-Fri) and I'm just wondering what I should expect...is it really as boring as everyone says?
And can I just wear 'normal' clothes?
Ta.

 

[dark`secrets]

how much is the RSA course?

 

[hipsta_jess]

depends...up here (Newcastle) its generally $60-70...apparently in Syd its a bit higher (~$80)

but I'm doing a package deal, rsa, rcg and bar for $199

 

[thejosiekiller]

yeah im hoping to do the rsa/rcg course for $150 soon.....i think its held someeher close to central by the hotels association

but i had a friend do it recently and his course was done at broadway

 

[mitch_07]

interesting i heard of one run by tafe for 4 days starting on december 13th (monday-thursday) costing $380 from 930 am - 400 pm

 

[thejosiekiller]

wow thats expensive- r u sure its just the rsa or a combination of courses that employers would want staff to have- eg first aid, safe handling of food?

 

[mitch_07]

nah just da rsa/rcg it does sound expensive hey. do u have any info about that other course which is $150 such as dates and where its held this would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS

Reach training in sydney - I did my RSA for $45 and same for RCG. then through www.speedpour.com.au I did a BarStart course for $99 (to learn to pour beer and spirits etc). then later on i did a Flair Tending workshop through Alex Beaumont training in sydney - i highly recommend it.

RSA and RCG (Particularly RCG) courses are VERY boring, but a legal requirement to get into the industry. Just go to sleep in the RCG course because you aren't going to learn much.

maybe that's why they got their job!

 

[ballerinabarbie]

i did mine at http://www.tcptraining.com
make sure when u do your rsa that it is LAB (Liquor Administration Board) approved, or most workplaces won't accept you - apparently there are only 8 registered training places in sydney that are LAB approved...
tcp was good for rsa - was a 1 day course, pretty boring but yeah... i also did their bar skills course - pouring beer/making cocktails etc.. (and you get to drink)
