What kinds of careers await you upon completion of our hospitality management courses in Brisbane or Melbourne?
Executive Chef
If you aim to find work managing the kitchen in a 5-star cruise or hotel, or even open your very own restaurant, the position of Executive Chef might be just what you’re looking for!
As executive chef, you’re the head honcho. Despite the word “chef” taking up half the title, this role entails more than cooking – you’ll also be overseeing and managing the restaurant.
In particular, you may be involved in:
- Overseeing inventory and deliveries
- Creating recipes and determining the menu
- Coordinating multiple cooks and chefs
- Budgeting and reporting
Training to become an executive chef requires learning about administrative and management skills in conjunction with nutrition, food production, food safety, and a deep understanding of the culinary arts.
While a passion for food is important, it’s not the only thing you’ll need to succeed as head chef.
Luckily for you, our hospitality management courses in Brisbane and Melbourne offer just that!

Pastry Chef
Are you the kind of person who looks at the dessert menu first at a restaurant?
Cakes, pastries, sweets – you’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t get excited thinking about bakery goods!
And we can all thank bakery managers for that.
Does your love for desserts extend to making them as well? Eager to turn your passion into an enjoyable and prosperous career?
If so, the role of pastry chef might be just the direction for you.
As a pastry chef, you’ll be in charge of making all manner of desserts and sweets.
Working either as part of a larger kitchen team or as an independent baker, you’ll be in charge of:
- Baking
- Ordering supplies
- Decorating
- Mixing ingredients
- Judging temperature and humidity
While a patisserie course can set you in the right direction, if you want to be the one calling the shots in the desserts department, further education and training in the administrative side of things are a must.
