The best way to get a job, is to train ON THE JOB!

Imagine starting a new job in a cafe... are you nervous? Do you know anyone who works there? Do you know every coffee on the menu? Can you talk confidently to complete strangers ie. customers??!!

Our students build confidence by developing problem solving skills & resilience, helping them learn to adapt to change & manage difficult situations. By "jumping in the deep end" you are better prepared to approach employers & make a positive impression.

REALskills cafe work experience

This cafe shift at Eva Street Privateer is a crucial part of the 3-day commercial barista course that allows students to confidently settle into a busy cafe work environment. This real cafe shift focuses on "back of house" tasks covering basic hygiene, food prep, food service, cleaning & cafe close procedure. Students work as a part of a real cafe team with real time constraints. We actively encourage a very positive attitude & effective communication at all times.

SPEEDSCHOOL coffee training

Its showtime on the final day of our 3-day commercial barista course - this barista service teaches students to keep their "freak-out" on the inside during peak cafe trade & work alongside the barista during early morning, high volume coffee service. We prepare job seekers for the more intense aspects of working in the really, real world: the ability to take & give direction, clear & positive communication skills, problem solving, time management & most importantly - the ability to work under pressure for a positive outcome.

This unique vocational training has limited availability

Eva Street Privateer is a busy & successful cafe business. As a result, we operate at a limited, exclusive capacity of select students per week. The barista training workshop is a pre-requisite for cafe work experience & is available weekly - please call our admin team on 07 3041 4182 to check availability & schedule a barista training workshop at Eva Street Privateer. Most barista training workshops run 11am to 2pm weekdays & REALskills & SPEEDSCHOOL cafe work experience shifts run approx 8am to 10am during morning cafe trade.

Other VET providers accept larger enrolment numbers and offer a style of hospitality training common in RSL clubs, catering organisations & conference venues. We try to avoid the "cookie cutter" approach by focusing on smaller coffee training workshops at Eva Street Privateer in Brisbane & as a result we can help students develop their own unique strengths. The ability to adapt & be flexible in a work environment are attributes all employers value highly & as a result some students may benefit from a tailored training schedule to ensure they receive the most benefit from their vocational training at Eva Street Privateer.
