This Advanced Diploma focuses on the field of Management and Commerce, specifically Hospitality Management (080319). Students develop high-level skills in financial management, strategic planning, marketing, human resources, and operational leadership within hospitality contexts. Graduates can manage complex business activities, lead teams, and drive service excellence in hotels, restaurants, cafes, and event venues.

The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, preparing students for senior management roles or further study in business.
The course duration is 2 years (104 weeks) as recorded on the CRICOS register. Instruction is delivered in English. This is a single qualification (not a dual award) and does not include foundation studies. Students are expected to attend classes full-time, with a combination of classroom sessions, workshops, and self-directed study. The course structure may include compulsory work-integrated learning (see Work component section below). For specific study mode details (online, blended, or on-campus), please confirm with the provider directly.

Please note that this does not include Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), living expenses, or the visa application charge. Living costs vary by city: in Melbourne, weekly rent averages A$300–$500 for a share house or studio; in Sydney (Parramatta), expect A$350–$550.

Prior qualifications may include a Diploma in a related field or completion of Year 12 with relevant work experience.

If you do not meet English requirements, consider pathway programs or additional language support offered by the provider.
This course includes a mandatory work component: 3 weeks, 20 hours per week (approximately 60 total hours). This work-integrated learning (WIL) involves an industry placement or internship where students apply their skills in a real hospitality setting. Placements are typically arranged by the provider or can be sourced independently with approval. WIL is a valuable opportunity to gain Australian workplace experience, build professional networks, and enhance employability after graduation.
The course is delivered at three locations: 97 Smith St, Fitzroy VIC 3065 (Fitzroy campus), Melbourne Campus in the Melbourne CBD, and Parramatta Campus in Parramatta NSW. Fitzroy is an inner-city suburb of Melbourne with a vibrant arts and dining scene. Melbourne's CBD is the state's education hub, home to dozens of CRICOS-registered providers. Parramatta, a major commercial centre in Western Sydney, offers a diverse community and growing hospitality sector. All campuses are accessible by public transport, with trains, trams, and buses connecting to major suburbs. Over 1,500 CRICOS-registered providers operate across Australia, and choosing a campus in a city that suits your lifestyle is an important decision.
International students enrolling in this course must apply for a Student visa (Subclass 500). Key requirements include: a valid Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from the provider, Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) evidence, Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the visa duration, and demonstrated financial capacity to cover tuition, living costs (at least A$21,041 per year from 1 July 2025), and travel.

Victoria and New South Wales are two of Australia's most popular states for international students, with Melbourne and Sydney consistently ranking among the world's top student cities. Melbourne alone has over 150 CRICOS-registered providers offering a wide range of hospitality courses.

Public transport costs around A$40–$60 per week with student concessions. Both states offer strong job markets in hospitality, with opportunities for part-time work during studies.
