Hospitality Training Australia completes the schooling component of the Certificate III in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery) Apprenticeship in two years. This training program combines intensive off the job kitchen training with workplace based assessment. This method more than halves the total number of training days that you spend at TAFE and also means that the time you do spend at TAFE is spent in a commercial training kitchen.

Four workplace based training and assessment sessions are coordinated with your chef each year. Each visit assesses workplace competence, theory units and transfer of learning to the workplace.
