Home Barista Training

How I can get the experience necessary to work in a cafe?
I want to take a part time job in a cafe, but I have never worked one before. What I can do to increase your chances of being hired? I checked some barista training schools, but they seem very expensive for a job part-time. I love coffee and make my own espresso at home, but have no experience otherwise. Any suggestions?
Just apply, is my advice. Do some research on them and what they serve so if asked in an interview that does not look or idea.
