Common Questions
There are two pathways: the Direct Entry Pathway, which takes 78 weeks over 6 terms (60 study weeks + 18 weeks term break), and the Advanced Standing Pathway for those who have completed SIT30816 Certificate III in Commercial Cookery, which takes 26 weeks over 2 terms (20 study weeks + 6 weeks term break) with credit transfer applied for units already completed.
Practical training and assessment will take place in KCBT's designated kitchen at THE KITCHEN Balcatta, located at 2 Cressall Rd, Balcatta WA 6021. Learners are expected to make their own travel arrangements to and from the Kitchen to attend practical classes. KCBT will provide a kitchen uniform and tool kit.
Applicants must have International English Language Testing System (IELTS) with a minimum score of 5.0 or equivalent. If the learner does not have current proof of one of the English Language Tests, they will be required to take a KCBT English Placement Test. Those students who do not meet the minimum English requirement will need to package this program with an English Course before proceeding to this qualification.
The Assessment Process is based on the principles of competency-based training. Assessment for each unit of competency will be through a combination of classroom-based and work-placement tasks. Classroom-based assessments include but are not limited to: Classroom Exercises, Assignments, Practical Demonstrations, Group Activities, and Projects. Work placement arrangements include a work placement contract, logbook, work evidence, and assessment of tasks completed at the workplace through evidence, third-party evidence, and/or observation.
Employment opportunities resulting from the completion of this course may include job roles such as Chef de Partie and Chef. After achieving the SIT40521 Certificate IV in Kitchen Management, individuals could progress to the SIT50422 Diploma of Hospitality Management, and may be able to receive credit transfers for some units of competency that appear in the pathway.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
