Also, I'd recommend looking at front of house positions too, a lot of places will train people up from there. (Although it's always good to mention you're super keen to train and move into barista roles in the future, in case that's not what a particular shop is looking for! Always best to be on the same page.) It's also a really good way to learn how cafes work from the other side of the bar!

Greetings.
My brother is thinking of a career change into coffee industry, which I have encouraged.
Are there any resources he could go look at and how does one become a barista with no formal training / prior experience? He has pretty decent amateur knowledge, but just needs to put it into practice.
Cheers all.
