My daughter tried for 2 years to get on the free Barista/Cafe courses, but for whatever reason the centre in Porirua never accepted her applications - perhaps your daughter might have better luck.

Did she ever get any feedback why she was unsuccessful? it's really hard on kids when they've done their very best and they aren't told why they got knocked back. It takes a lot of courage for them to keep trying, I'm glad for her that she persevered and did ok for herself in the end.

Can we cut the personal jibes please people or I will be forced to shut this thread down.

Can I remind you all of that fine piece of state of the art technology, the IGNORE button .

Many thanks

My kids all have UK and NZ passports and so do I. It's great and just opens up their options a bit. Oldest now works in Sydney. Only wish hubby had got his British citizenship before we came back to NZ.
IMO always keep as many doors as possible open.

God point, the thread has been taken over and gone so far off the original point/topic. To many angry posters !

I know Vital is a moderator, but didn't know she'd been elevated to the status of a God. . .
Sorry, couldn't resist!

OK, just as long as you keep posting in the traditional fashion, and don't resort to stone tablets
