You must be at least 16 years old to enrol at TasTAFE (18 years for international students with Year 12 equivalent completion). There are no essential entry requirements for this course. However, you will need to complete a Pre-enrolment Skills Review questionnaire to identify your literacy, numeracy, digital and learning skills. International students must demonstrate English language proficiency with IELTS 6.0 overall (no band less than 5.0) or equivalent. A genuine passion for hospitality, friendly demeanor, attention to detail, ability to work under pressure, and strong interpersonal skills are essential for success.
Core units include: sourcing and using hospitality industry information, working effectively in hospitality service, providing customer service, demonstrating social and cultural sensitivity, coaching others in job skills, and participating in safe work practices. Elective units cover: bar operations and beverage service (alcohol service, coffee making, cocktail preparation, wine and beer knowledge), food service and preparation, accommodation services (housekeeping, reception, room preparation), food safety and hygiene, financial transactions, customer management, and tourism product knowledge. Students gain hands-on experience in restaurant and bar operations, learning waiting styles from fine dining to café service, drink mixing, order taking, and professional hospitality standards.
