Plenty of courses accessible online with Qantas College which you are able to do and they are free. The company offer these to benefit you in attaining further skills and hopefully it will benefit them by having crew who are self motivated and keen for promotion.

Nothing is stopping you from accessing these courses to better your resume.

I agree with OCCR and 34R, you are owed nothing, you show up and you get paid to do the job you signed on for. Anything else on top of that is a bonus if you choose to avail yourself of the opportunities.

When you consistantly have problems in the workplace heads_down you need to start looking at the one common denominator in all those situations......that would be you.
you are wrong, any course you wish to take must be approved by your team manager, it needs to be relevant to your work duties, not because you are knowledge thirsty.

And your team manager will only approve how to make scramble eggs courses and other cooking skills. Apart from that, marketing , management and technical courses are totally out of bounds for unskilled food servers.

and OCCR, it is a shame that you did not pick a profession like public prosecutor or a judge (obviously you do not have the qualifications for these highly skilled profession) all you do is make assumptions, and then judge and jury for every thing you say. What another crock of Qantas ****, only Qantas can produce people like that, no other companies produce incompetents like yourself.

While I understand the company owe you nothing the same works both ways you provide a service and they pay you so you do not owe Qantas anything either.
If everyone takes this attitude than it'll be curtains.
Most big companies offers and encourage a career path for all their staff be it serving food or repairing aircraft. They do this by making staff take courses that will actually earn them certification.
