Certificate III in Hospitality

The Certificate III in Hospitality (SIT30622) at TasTAFE is a multi-skilled qualification specialising in accommodation services and food and beverage, designed for people who want to kick-start a hospitality career either locally or abroad, where qualified hospitality workers are always in high demand. It provides the practical and theoretical skills needed to advance a hospitality career, and is also an excellent way for people already working in the industry to gain a formal qualification for the work they already do. Students learn to work effectively with others in the hospitality context, source and use information on the industry, provide quality service to customers, show social and cultural sensitivity to customers and colleagues, coach others in job skills and participate in safe work practices. International students additionally learn waiting styles from fine dining through to café service, operating a bar, pouring wines, making cocktails, taking orders, mixing drinks and making coffee.

On-campus students train in TasTAFE's Drysdale restaurant and bar, and the course can also be completed as an apprentice/trainee or workplace-based student. Domestically it is offered at Drysdale Launceston, Devonport and Drysdale Hobart, with tuition of $1,405 subsidised or $410 concession, commercial pricing on application, and Fee Free TAFE places available subject to eligibility. Internationally it runs for 26 weeks in Hobart with a February intake at AUD $10,275. Graduates can seek employment across restaurants, hotels, motels, clubs, pubs, cafes and events.
