Who is this course for?

Commercial Cookery is an important part of the Australian hospitality and tourism industry. Quality College of Australia delivers this course through both theoretical and practical based learning and aims to make students industry ready. Students will experience practical training in state-of-the-art commercial kitchens and will enjoy our modern theory classrooms. This qualification provides a pathway for students to work as a commercial cook in venues such as restaurants, hotels, clubs, pubs, cafes, cafeterias and coffee shops.

Once qualified, you will be able to work independently under limited supervision. You will also have the skills to provide operational advice and to offer support to your team members. As part of the Certificate III in Commercial Cookery, our trainers will assist students in running a restaurant. The ‘training restaurant’ provides students with the opportunity to gain on the job experience and more importantly, to learn through trial and error in a riskfree environment.

Feedback received from trainers and customers will help students improve on their weaknesses. The ‘training restaurant’ is a highlight for both students and staff and we find that by the end of the training period, students have more confidence to work independently.

This course is subsidised.
