How HGT’s hospitality training works

During a traineeship you will study Certificate III in Hospitality or as an apprentice you’ll study a Certificate III in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery). Being a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), HGT will deliver your training. To do this, apprentices and trainees attend practical training sessions and HGT consultants regularly visit host employers for assessment and workbook delivery.

The cost to you

There may be some costs that trainees and apprentices need to cover such as uniforms, tools (such as a knife kit), and training costs (such as training fees or text books). Some of the equipment you’ll need is available for purchase through HGT. Also, if you’re successful in gaining an apprenticeship with HGT, you may be eligible for funding assistance from the government to help you with these costs.

Eligibility

To be eligible for an apprenticeship/traineeship, you must be an Australian Resident. In addition, both HGT and each host employer have further criteria that need to be met. To find out more about these criteria, contact us or call 08 8100 1900.
