Diploma of Hospitality Management

This qualification is delivered over a period of 1.5 years, consisting of 78 weeks in total — 18 weeks of breaks/holidays and 60 weeks of tuition. Students are required to attend 20 contact (face-to-face) scheduled hours each week of study.

The fees for the Diploma of Hospitality Management (Culinary Stream) are: Tuition fee: $18,500; Material fee: $1,000; and Application fee: $250. All fees and charges are in Australian Dollars (AUD) and GST exempt. Fees & Charges may vary where RPL and/or CT has been approved.

There are two entry cohorts: direct entry international students and AIHM progressing students. AIHM expects both cohorts to enter the course with some commercial cookery experience either through work placement or casual work. For direct entry students, AIHM shall conduct pre-enrolment interviews to determine existing competencies, skills, and knowledge, as well as evidence of work placement. Progressing students will have already completed Certificate III in Commercial Cookery and Certificate IV in Kitchen Management.

Direct entry students are required to complete all 11 core units and all 17 elective units (28 units total). AIHM progressing students who have successfully completed SIT40521 Certificate IV in Kitchen Management only need to complete 5 remaining core units and 1 remaining elective unit (SITXHRM010 Recruit, select & induct staff), as they have already completed the other units in their previous qualification.

Graduates of the SIT50422 Diploma of Hospitality Management can continue their journey with AIHM's SIT60322 Advanced Diploma of Hospitality Management and unlock greater leadership potential in the industry.
