Overview

Start your hospitality journey with a hands-on course where you can develop practical skills applicable for many hospitality settings. If you would like to work in hotels, restaurants, night clubs, cruise ships or casinos, then this course may be for you. This course is included in the Australian and Queensland Government’s Fee Free TAFE program.

This qualification reflects the role of individuals who have a range of well-developed hospitality service, sales or operational skills and sound knowledge of industry operations. Using discretion and judgement, they work with some independence and under limited supervision using plans, policies and procedures to guide work activities. This qualification provides a pathway to work in organisations such as restaurants, hotels, motels, clubs, pubs, cafés, and coffee shops. This qualification allows for multiskilling and for specialisation in accommodation services, food and beverage and gaming.

This is a nationally recognised accredited course.

You will be required to supply your own polo shirt and enclosed footwear (black school shoes are suitable) for this course.
