Certificate
The Certificate IV in Hospitality gives you the skills and knowledge to work within multiple food and beverage settings with the aim of becoming a team leader or supervisor in restaurants, hotels and various venues.
To be eligible, students must be at least 16 years old. Before enrolling or beginning the training program, you will need to complete a literacy and numeracy assessment, as well as a pre-training interview.
These will assist with determining your suitability to the course, verify your training plan, and identify any learning support needs.
The course is taught through a blend of classroom and practical training at Holmesglen's student training restaurant Zest, located at the Glen Waverley campus.
Initially, the course equips students with the skills and knowledge to work in a restaurant environment. Placement opportunities are also extended to students via our many industry partners and involvement in special industry events.
As students progress further through the course, they will gain a greater understanding of hospitality management, leadership, financial management, and cost control. Students will also learn how to manage WH&S issues as well as conflict and diversity within a hospitality environment.
Essential skills and knowledge are also gained in key areas of customer service management.
On completing the course, graduates will be well-positioned to find team leader and supervisory roles across a wide range of enterprises, including restaurants, hotels, function centres, accommodation venues, cruise liners, gaming venues, clubs, pubs, cafes, aged care, and health facilities.
These roles are found across Australia and worldwide.
Holmesglen offers CV writing and interview workshops to students to assist with the transition to employment.
You may be able to reduce the number of units to be studied in your chosen course by measuring skills acquired through work, life experiences or qualifications obtained from formal studies or training. AQF qualifications and statements of attainment issued by another registered training organisation will be recognised by Holmesglen.
