Course Details

The Certificate IV in Kitchen Management aims to further develop a student’s cookery knowledge and introduces a range of management and business topics. Quality College of Australia delivers this course through both theoretical and practical based learning and aims to make students industry ready.

Students will experience practical training in state-of-the-art commercial kitchens and will enjoy our modern theory classrooms. This qualification provides a pathway to work in organisations such as restaurants, hotels, clubs, pubs, cafes and coffee shops, or to run a small business in these sectors. Possible jobs titles include Chef and Chef de Partie.

Once qualified, students can obtain the role of a commercial cook at a supervisory level or in a team-leading role. They will operate independently or with limited guidance from others and use discretion to solve non-routine problems. During the theoretical training, students will focus on management and business topics that will enhance their ability to work in all sectors of a business. However, it is the practical element of the Certificate IV where students will gain industry knowledge. Students will undergo a 6-month Industry Placement where they will complete a minimum of 440 hours on-the-job experience. During these 6 months, students are supported by their trainers and other QCA staff members.

To assist students in securing placement opportunities, QCA has partnered with Hospitality Jobs Australia, one of Australia’s largest hospitality job portals. Our partnership with this organisation is unique to QCA and can also help students find ongoing employment.
