Qualifying as a chef in Australia is more accessible and flexible than ever. This certificate gives our students the institutional based equivalent of the Trade Chef qualification. Including practical industry placement, students are required to complete a minimum of 250 hours of industry work placement. After completing the qualification students are required to gain relevant on-the-job experience in a commercial kitchen. Following completion of the appropriate industry experience and a RPL assessment, students can apply for the ASCA Trade Chef qualification.

The Certificate III in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery) is equivalent to the off-the-job training of the chef apprenticeship. The course includes industry internships providing you the necessary on-the-job experience in a commercial kitchen. The process of qualifying with trade equivalence may take up to 3 years, however students are employed throughout this time in the industry gaining substantial and relevant experience. The placements are organised by ASCA.
