International students must have an overall IELTS score of 5.5 or an equivalent score in other English skills tests, and test results must be no more than 2 years old. However, students may be exempt from providing English test scores if they have completed at least five years' study in Australia, UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, or the Republic of Ireland; are citizens/passport holders of the UK, USA, Canada, NZ, or Republic of Ireland; or have successfully completed the Senior Secondary Certificate of Education or 50% of the units of a Certificate IV or higher-level course in Australia in English within the two years before applying for the student visa.

The program is delivered face-to-face in the classroom and training kitchen for 14 hours per week, plus 6 hours per week online via the Learning Portal without trainer supervision, totalling 20 hours per week. The training kitchen has all the necessary equipment like a commercially operating kitchen but does not have real customers.

The diversity of employers includes restaurants, hotels, motels, catering operations, clubs, pubs, cafés, and coffee shops.
