G'day,
I'm assuming that you are an international student. If I'm right, then please do not just check the yellow pages since not all colleges or institutions can offer their courses to international students due to accreditations.
Bartender falls under hospitality industry, so the most logical way will be to check private colleges or TAFE colleges that offer hospitality programs.
I suggest you to go to Dept of Education, Science and Technology (http://cricos.dest.gov.au) and IDP Education Australia website (www.idp.edu.au) online databases. IDP is an organisation that gives information to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. The information abt fees & requirements can be found in the college's website. Please make sure that you access the information for internationals students, since some requirements, application form and fees are different than Australians'.
Once decided on the college, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification. Depending on your country of origin, you may also need to submit an IELTS test results as proof of your English proficiency (www.ielts.org).
Some colleges that I would recommend are listed below. The reason I'm recommending them is b'cos they are specialised in teaching hospitality study. So all facilities are well setup for one particular purpose: hospitality.
Of course studying hospitality you are not only study bartending, but also different aspect of hospitality industry, so at the end, you might even be interested in working on the other area. I guess bartending is quite fun in the beginning, especially if you do enjoy work as one, but considering that you are working late at nite (not much social life) and possibility of harassments or violence by intoxicated ppl, it can be quite discouraging.
Hope this helps. Good luck on your study and welcome to Australia :)
