  • Why Should I Complete My RSA Course and Work in a Bar? And…Then What?

    A bar is one of the places that you could work in once completing the RSA Course, and it seems to be a popular one to start out in. This is likely due to the more relaxed atmosphere that a bar usually has, as opposed to jumping straight into a night club.  But if you are looking to jump into the night club atmosphere, you might want to check out this forum, where someone seeks advice on how to  handle a clubs interview process. The RSA course teaches you a lot of things about safety when working behind a bar, and how to look out for patrons who you think might have had a little too much to drink. But before one has to do any of that, they first have to look at whether or not bar tending is the right thing for them to do. And when considering if it is what you want to do, you should think about several different factors, such as the hours you will have to work, where you will work, what the work consists of, who will I be working for (what kind of boss?) and what skills do I need to learn on the job? These are generally things people think about when becoming a bar tender, and the RSA Course can help you decide, just read on!

    What Exactly Will I Have To Do? RSA Course Teaches

    When working behind a bar, the first and foremost important thing that you will have to be able to do, is communicate with people who are ordering drinks. This is important for a few reasons, but one of these is that you can tell how much someone has had to drink, more often than not, by how much they slur their words and how well they construct sentences! Another thing you may need is a wide knowledge of drinks, and this is not always important nor taught in the RSA Course. But think about it. The less your employer has to train you, the better you will be set ahead from competition. So start studying asap! A good place to start looking at drink mixes is linked here as well.

    So…What’s Next? Impressing Your Boss!

    Upon reading the title above, you were probably thinking, “why would i want to impress my boss after completing the RSA Course and working in a bar?” Well, there are several reasons that you might want to impress your boss with skills that you learn outside of work. See in the bar tending and night life industry, there is a lot of room for movement within any chain of different clubs or bars/restaurants. This means that there is a lot of room to move up in the industry. And what people don’t realise is that the hires are mostly from inside the business. It’s true! Speak to any manager of a club or a bar and you will see that just like you, he had to complete the RSA Course online and get to work behind a bar before he could move up in the industry!

    Ok, So How Do I Do It? RSA Course Online Helps!

    The first thing that you want to do, is get online and complete the RSA Course pre-emptively to getting the job. This just shows your boss that you are more than prepared and keen to get into the industry and show him what you have to offer. Secondly, you want to always pay attention when on the job, show that you never have an ‘off day’ or a time when you really don’t feel like working. Even though there are probably times when you will feel this way. You should then always be going home at night and reflecting on the days work, always thinking about how you could have done it better, and what you will be doing next time to better yourself. At the same time though you should also be going home and thinking about new and exciting things to do at your work, whether it be finding a new drink, or thinking of an event that you would like to host. Either way, get involved and get thinking! Bosses like when you show initiative. Finally, as bad as it sounds you want to make sure that your boss sees you doing these things, or at least hears about it. You want to show off your skills! and show WHY you are ahead of all the other employees that the bar might have! Have a look at the hilarious video below as well on impressing your boss in a more office based environment. Keep in mind this does not actually work though!

  • Drinking Culture And Responsible Service of Alcohol

    Drinking Culture is something that has been evolving for quite some time, and the Responsible Service of Alcohol Course teaches you how to deal with this culture. This does not mean that the Responsible Service of Alcohol course is against drinking all together, but it teaches you how to deal with people who take the culture a little bit too far and could end up hurting themselves. Since the beginning of the drinking culture takeoff, it has been the recurring trend that bar tenders are the sober ones who can look after patrons who have had a little bit too much to drink, and the Responsible Service of Alcohol course continues that tradition.

    Where Did This Culture Come From?

    The drinking culture varies greatly around the world. In the Western world it has now grown to a bit of weekend fun. Drinking culture came from, social drinking without the intention to get drunk, so that people could enjoy themselves a little more and take some time off work for relaxation.

    Drinking Etiquette And Responsible Service of Alcohol

    Drinking etiquette ultimately refers to ‘how we should drink.’ But you might be interested to know where it came from. It was simply a man named William Greaves in England, who wrote ‘Greaves Rules’ for a newspaper that were based on his drinking experiences. These rules were then re-published in the Daily Telegraph and set out to start the common guidelines we follow today on such things as buying rounds of drinks, and buying each other drinks.

    The Responsible Service of Alcohol Course’s Role

    The responsible service of alcohol is crucial in today’s drinking society. It upholds safe drinking etiquette and it keeps drinking to the way that it should be in a bar or pub. Interestingly enough, the drinking etiquette by William Greaves was backed up by a ‘Kate Fox’ who wrote a similar article, instead about the need for safety in drinking as etiquette. She argued it was the most important thing for people to keep violence to a minimum when in a bar, and this is what the Responsible Service of Alcohol teaches and enforces. By teaching bar tenders to deal with people drinking too much and getting violent. It is for this reason that you should jump online and complete your Responsible Service of Alcohol course. It will allow you to serve safely at any liquor serving establishment around Australia. Oh, and if you are looking for more information on drinking culture, look here.

  • Before Becoming a Bartender (After Completing The RSA Course)

    What You Should Know – The RSA Course Can’t Teach This:

    Before you go and look for work as a bar tender, and complete your RSA course, there are a few things that you should probably be aware of. The first of which is that bar tending is not the kind of job that you should enter into if you do not like conversing  with people, or if you just want to have an easy summer job. It can be hard, have long hours and can often be demanding; which means that despite all this you still have to be able to be nice to people and create a friendly atmosphere, or a boss will not want to hire you. But you also have to note that by being nice to patrons all the time, you have to be aware that some will even try and hit on you, on a daily basis – so set yourself some limits in how nice you are.

    3 Essential Things to Know – Not in The RSA Course

    In my personal opinion, bar tending is great and it can really have it’s benefits – which aren’t taught as much in the RSA course. But the main benefit is that the money can be really good, depending on how good you are at your job. So you work on a lot of tips, which may also mean that if you are not as good at your job then you may also not earn as much in it. As you can then see, the money is not as stable so it’s better to know this before joining the bar industry. Finally, you should know that bar tending comes with a few risks to be aware of. This is something that is taught in the RSA course which shows you that you are responsible for what you serve to whoever you serve it to. This means that you have to always be on the lookout for an underage drinker and you also have to be aware of who is drinking, and if they are drinking too much. There are many more things to be aware of when bar tending, all of which are taught in the RSA course.
