Have you ever wondered what career path is perfect for you?
At one time or another, we all have!
It’s imperative that we choose a career path that not only aligns with our strengths and talents, but one that allows us to feel truly fulfilled, too.
Take the thriving hospitality industry, for example: working in hospitality is great if you are someone who enjoys working as part of a team.
If you consider yourself a bit of a “people person”, have an outgoing personality, and love talking to and helping new people, you might just be on the right path to a fantastic career in hospitality!
Before you dive head-first into your career, you’ll need the right qualifications, first! Academia offers quality hospitality courses at our Melbourne and Brisbane campuses for both international and domestic students.
Read on to find out a little more about our hospitality courses.
Diploma of Hospitality Management
As a part of the Diploma of Hospitality Management you will spend one year studying on campus, at Academia’s Melbourne or Brisbane campuses. Following your classroom-based study, you’ll finish up your Diploma with six months’ training in real-life kitchens through work placement.
With strong ties to the industry, Academia supports its students by helping them find an industry internship.
Students will be required to complete three days a week work placement over a period of 20 weeks.
After completion of this course you will be eligible for employment in a management position in the hospitality industry.
Alternatively you are also able to continue your education and advance your employment opportunities by enrolling in an Advanced Diploma of Hospitality Management (see below).

Advanced Diploma of Hospitality Management
During the Advanced Diploma, we build on the skills you recently acquired in the Diploma of Hospitality Management course.
The Advanced Diploma teaches additional skills related to the aspect of managing or running your own hospitality establishment, like a hotel or restaurant: you will learn about finance, people management, decision making and other important skills to transform you into an exemplary leader!
This course will be completed over a period of 102 weeks which equates about two years. This period includes term breaks as well as 2.5 months’ worth of workplace training.
Workplace training
During these 2.5 months (10 weeks), you’ll gain real-life experience through:
- Two days per week in an Academia affiliated hotel commercial kitchen
- Three days per week in an authorised hospitality workplace

A course in hospitality management requires a little more from you as a person. You need to be leader; the person who is able to guide others through challenging situations rather than relying on others.
Are you a natural-born leader? Then a career in hospitality management could be for you!
