Certificate III in Catering
This course will get you qualified with the skills and knowledge you need to work as a cook specialising in catering for events and bistros, or even to start your own catering business or mobile food service.
Working in catering requires a range of skills — not just actual cookery but also how to prep food, use kitchen equipment, receiving an storing stock, maintaining food safety, and planning and costing out recipes to name just a few.
This course will give you the skills and knowledge required to work in a range of catering settings including for public and corporate events, private events such as weddings and parties, fairs and markets, conventions and expos, sporting and entertainment venues, hotels, restaurants offering buffets and smorgasbords, hospitals and care facilities, schools, and even mobile catering businesses such as food trucks. The opportunities are endless!
This nationally recognised and accredited qualification is a great starting point for your future career in catering, or as a pathway to a higher level qualification if you wish to pursue further study in this field.
