RSA course to work internationally?

Hello Saki 😊

I think, to work internationally in food outlets work permits are more a barrier, than actual qualifications.

I have worked in Canada, Germany, England and Ireland in cafes and delicatessens, while I was a student. I had no qualifications in catering or food service, and I was not a student of these things. I also worked in a bar in England at one stage, without any qualification.

Another thing to consider is, that what is a qualification in one country is no more than a useless piece of paper in another. In your position, I would just get jobs where I can, and not bother with qualifications for the food service industry.

Short qualifications that might increase your chances of getting jobs would be 'teaching English as a foreign language'(if English is your first language), office qualifications such as typing and word processing...And, maybe you could build on these later when you stop travelling, or stop travelling for a while, by entering a degree course in IT or something else.
