Yes, an application can be made for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) when the student believes they have already attained the necessary skills and competencies elsewhere (work, other study etc.) or have an equivalent qualification or part of a qualification. MIA recognises AQF qualifications and Statements of Attainment issued by any other RTOs and grants credit for these towards an award where applicable. The application for RPL and/or Credit Transfer should be lodged prior to or immediately after enrolment.

On completion of this qualification, graduates can pursue professional roles such as Hospitality Manager, Motel Manager, Sous Chef, Chef Patissier, and Restaurant Manager. The qualification also allows students to work across a diversity of employers including restaurants, hotels, motels, catering operations, clubs, pubs, cafés, and coffee shops, or to enrol in Australian Universities to continue and pursue this career path.
