Our two-year Associate Degree in Culinary Management offers a solid preparation for self-driven individuals with the strength of character and aspiration to lead and create their own destiny. You might aim to become an executive chef, kitchen manager or food service manager. Or, your ambition may stretch to running your own restaurant or hotel. Whichever path you choose, this course will allow you to wield a blade and conduct a business with equal confidence.

Your dreams begin with a solid foundation: experienced TAFE chefs will train you to Certificate III level in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery), which is the basic qualification you need to be employed as a cook or a chef in Australia. The strength of Victoria University’s multi-sector campus means that as well as these technical skills, you will also learn the general principles and practices of management – as well as those specific to hospitality, catering and cuisine – from academic staff in the Faculty of Business and Law.

You will acquire:

• cooking and culinary skills
• experience in an operational kitchen on campus and work in a productive capacity
• more than 500 hours of paid, industry work experience via our supervised “Work Integrated Learning” project
