Warrawong High School: Hospitality

Hospitality

Hospitality is a 2 unit Category B, Vocational Board developed course. It is designed for those students who have an interest in the Hospitality industry as a career, or who enjoy practical subjects and the learning of skills which can be used both in the workplace or at home.

This course is a competency based course. A Cetificate II in Hospitality Operations is awarded to students who satisfactorily achieve all required competencies. This is a nationally accreditated certificate which is recognised across Australia and provides students undertaking further studies in Hospitality at TAFE with recognised prior learning.

During the two year course, students will complete a minimum of 70 hours of workplacement. This is a mandatory part of the course which gives students the opportunity to work in the hospitality industry. This is an opportunity for students to gain first hand experience of what a career in this industry is all about. For some students it also provides them with the opportunity to gain apprenticeships or casual work.

All hospitality students are required to wear a chef's uniform during practical lessons. These may be hired from the school.
