How you study

ICAE’s Diploma of Hospitality Management course is based on our proven industry-focused program, maximising students’ time actually working in industry. This concentrated time working in industry provides you with invaluable real experience, real exposure to industry, and a real work résumé on completion of the course. International students must complete a Certificate IV in Commercial Cookery, or Certificate IV in Hospitality prior to commencing this course.

The first semester of your Diploma of Hospitality Management course is spent undertaking practical and theory tuition delivered on campus, utilising industry-standard bar and restaurant equipment in ICAE’s fully equipped training bar and restaurant areas. The course builds upon your previous experience and your skills and knowledge gained through completing Certificate IV. This is the semester where you will develop the skills and acquire the knowledge that will help you gain your ultimate job for your next semester, Industry Placement.

Your second semester is spent entirely in the workplace, undertaking Industry Placement (IP). IP is where you develop your skills, demonstrate your competence, and build the critical foundations and contacts for a career in hospitality. If you are offered employment for your IP, you will receive a minimum of AUD$17 per hour, and you can work for up to 45 hours per week.
