Online courses for working in Australia

Are you planning to work in a bar, restaurant, kitchen or casino in Australia? If so, you'll need to complete a short course and get a certificate, before you can apply for a job. Until now, backpackers have had to complete this course after arriving in Australia. But now a new company is offering the courses online, so you can get the certificate before you leave for Australia.

Ross Gregory, director of Quality Hospitality International, says, "I used to run a hotel in Australia, and it never ceased to amaze me how many backpackers I had applying for jobs on a daily basis. They were always capable of doing the job but didn't know that they needed a Responsible Service of Alcohol certificate to work in the bar or a Food Hygiene certificate to work in the kitchen. In most cases it took between three and four weeks for them to get the certification which meant they missed out on three to four weeks work. With our website you can get your certification before you leave on holiday and start work as soon as you arrive."

Quality Hospitality International offers the following online courses...
