Preferred

Completion of Certificate I in Hospitality at Year 10 would be an advantage but is not necessary.  

Students who have completed Certificate I in Hospitality will receive credit transfer for any units relevant and will have less theory work to complete. 

Additional Costs

The cost of the course is fully covered by Government funding, but there is a cost for incidentals such as a Chef uniform and venue, etc. This is approximately $500 and may be covered by the school’s VET subsidy.  

For further enquiries, please contact the Pathways office.
