What is the Diploma of Hospitality Management?

This qualification is an extension of both the Certificate III in Commercial Cookery and the Certificate IV in Kitchen Management (which are prerequisites for this course), and equips students with the skills and knowledge to work in the hospitality industry at a senior level, overseeing catering within a large organisation or managing a moderate sized hospitality business.

Students’  broad range of hospitality training is further enhanced with administrative and managerial skills, preparing students to coordinate hospitality operations and manage legal risks.

Graduates emerge as highly skilled senior operators, able to operate independently with limited management oversight, and trained to manage large numbers of staff and make significant operational business decisions within their roles.

  • A working mobile phone (preferably a smartphone) with an active SIMM card.
  • A personal email address to communicate with the college (and log into your student portal)
  • A laptop with WiFi and current Microsoft Office software (or a close equivalent)

Your learning progress through the course will be assessed through a number of methods. These will likely include:

  • Direct observations by your trainer during demonstrations and in-class discussions.
  • In-class and take-away assignments
  • Group projects
  • Conventional written tests

 

You must achieve a satisfactory grade for each assessment to pass the unit and complete the course overall.

If you receive an unsatisfactory grade on one of your assessments, don't panic. You will have one additional chance to re-attempt the assessment and complete it successfully.

However, if you're unsuccessful on your second try, you will need to re-take the unit or you will be unable to graduate the course.

As a current training package under the National Register of Vocational Education and Training, the SIT50422 Diploma of Hospitality Management course is recognised throughout the hospitality industry as representing a broad range of hospitality skills, managerial skills and a sound knowledge of quality customer service practices. 

The course is part of the SIT training package, recognised throughout the industry as the primary standard for hospitality qualifications. It is recognised by licenced hospitality employers throughout Australia.

  • SIT50312 - Diploma of Hospitality
