“Find your confidence. Find your pathway.”

🌱 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭… 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭.
Most people join our course for the certificates — but what they discover is so much more.

Over 12 weeks, you’ll:
☕ Train in a real café with supportive trainers
👥 Build confidence step-by-step in a safe environment
🌟 Learn how to present yourself to employers
💬 Get 1:1 mentoring from people who care
💼 Walk away ready for work (and life)

You’ll still earn THREE nationally recognised qualifications (Cert II Hospitality, RSA & RSG), but what most graduates tell us is: “I never thought my confidence could change like this.”

📅 Starts Monday 20 October 2025 | ⏰ Mon–Fri, 9:30am–2:30pm
📍 Lagoon Creek Café, 1–11 Toovey Street, Caboolture

🎓 Funded by the QLD Govt (Skilling Queenslanders for Work). Eligibility applies. Run by Better Together Assoc Inc (a registered not-for-profit organisation ABN 92 554 430 874).
