Why can’t students achieve Certificate II in Hospitality (Kitchen Operations) through the 240-hour course?
It has never been possible to achieve Certificate II in Hospitality (Kitchen Operations) through the 240-hour course, however in the past many students undertaking a commercial cookery pathway have been enrolled in Certificate II in Hospitality Operations instead. This is no longer possible. Certificate II in Hospitality (Kitchen Operations) requires the achievement of 16 units of competency. It is not possible to achieve the units of competency required in the 240-indicative hours of the HSC course. Students would need to undertake an additional Hospitality Specialisation Study course of at least 60 indicative hours to be able to achieve this qualification. It is possible for students to achieve Certificate II in Hospitality within the 240-hour course as this qualification only requires the achievement of 12 units of competency.
