SIT20322 Certificate II in Hospitality

A nationally recognised qualification on the National Register of vocational education and training. This page answers the questions that actually decide whether it is worth your time and money: is the work there, what happens to people who finish, who pays, and who you could study it with. Every figure carries its source and date.

Often searched as Cert 2 in Hospitality.

This is the current version of the qualification on the national register. It replaced SIT20316, whose currency ended on 8 June 2022.

What will it cost, and will the government pay?

The three wallets: a subsidised seat, paying full fee, and the time commitment that decides whether you can keep working.

The subsidised seat

State subsidy listings for this qualification are being verified against official program lists.

Subsidy programs change and have eligibility rules. The official listing linked above is the source of truth; no dollar amounts are shown here because they vary by person and provider.

Paying full fee

Fees for unsubsidised places are set by each training provider and vary widely. Provider pricing, intakes and payment options live on the individual course pages linked below, never on this page.

Sources: official state subsidised training program lists (linked per state); placement requirement from the National Register, training.gov.au.

Is it worth it?

The crossing no single dataset can give you: official shortage status, subsidy availability and training demand, read together.

The independent signals behind this qualification are positive. Specifically: employment in its occupations is projected to grow through 2035 and national enrolments are rising. These are official statistics, not a promise about any individual's result.

Straight answers

The five questions people actually ring up and ask, answered only where official data backs the answer.

Is it a real, nationally recognised qualification?
Yes. SIT20322 is listed on the National Register with status Current, as part of the SIT training package. Any registered training organisation approved for it issues the same national qualification.
Will the government pay for it?
State subsidy listings are being verified against official program lists.
How much does it cost?
In subsidised places the government pays most of the tuition and you pay a co-contribution set by the program and provider. Full fees are set by each provider and shown on their course pages. No single national price exists, which is exactly why comparing providers matters.
How long does it take, and can I work while studying?
Duration depends on the provider and study mode.
Do I get credit for what I already know?
Yes, recognition of prior learning applies to this qualification like any on the national register: an approved provider assesses your evidence against each unit of competency.
