Certificate III in Hospitality

About this qualification

SIT30622 is the step from doing the work to being trusted with it. The register describes “well-developed hospitality service, sales or operational skills and sound knowledge of industry operations”, applied with “some independence and under supervision”.

Fifteen units: six core and nine electives — the largest elective load on the hospitality ladder below Diploma. The core adds two things Certificate II does not have: SITXCCS014 Provide service to customers (rather than simply interact with them) and SITXHRM007 Coach others in job skills.

That coaching unit is the tell. Certificate III is where a hospitality worker starts training the people around them, which is why it is the level most venues look for in a shift leader.

The qualification explicitly allows both multiskilling and specialisation — accommodation services, food and beverage, or gaming. Nine electives is enough room to go deep in one or stay broad across all three.
