Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

See the Whole Venue

Bar, kitchen, front desk and housekeeping each run on their own systems. This walks you through all of them.

Step Up From the Floor

Rosters, control systems and staff management are the difference between working a shift and running one.

Or Run Your Own

Structures, a plan, bookkeeping and Xero, for anyone eyeing their own cafe, bar or small hotel.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Hospitality promotes from within, and the jump is usually into coordination. Rosters, suppliers, guest problems and the numbers behind a good week.

Hospitality Operations Coordinator

Rosters, stock and the day running to plan.

Food and Beverage Supervisor

The floor, the bar and the team on shift.

Events and Functions Coordinator

Weddings, conferences and whatever the venue books.

Guest Experience Coordinator

Arrivals, complaints and the reason people return.

Tourism Services Officer

Bookings, itineraries and visitor questions.

Sales and Marketing Assistant, Hotel

Filling rooms midweek and out of season.

Business Development Assistant

Corporate accounts and repeat function work.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. The training here is not nationally recognised. Venue and food safety roles often carry their own licensing rules.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need hospitality experience?

None. It assumes you have never worked a bar, a front desk or a travel booking.

Is this a cookery course?

Not quite. Kitchen and menu management are covered, but as operations rather than knife skills.

How long do I get?

Eighteen months of access, and about four hundred hours of work.

What does it cost?

From $29 a week on a payment plan. Weekly, fortnightly or monthly, or pay upfront. No deposit and no credit check.

Does it cover running my own place?

Yes. Structures, a plan, bookkeeping and Xero make up the fourth certificate.

What is the SEEK Pass credential?

A digital credential you can share on SEEK. It comes through a link in the learning platform, not through SEEK itself.

What recognition does it carry?

You finish with a Certificate of Achievement, endorsed by the Institute of Hospitality. The college is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office. It is not a registered training organisation, so the training is not nationally recognised. Venues hire on experience, and this adds the systems knowledge behind it.

What if I change my mind?

There is a ten day money back guarantee from the college. Ask an advisor how it works first.
