About the International Hospitality Service Program

Over 13 weeks, participants in the International Hospitality Service Program will develop skill-sets in silver-service, food and beverage matching, wine, beer and spirit selection.

The carefully selected students will obtain a nationally recognised Certificate III in Hospitality and will not only enter the workforce with the required skills, but have the strength of character to build a lasting and successful career in the industry.

In conjunction with our prestigious hospitality partners, students will be invited into real luxury, five-star experiences, cementing their theoretical knowledge with real, practical learning.
