Diploma of Hospitality Management

About this qualification

SIT50422 is the management qualification. The register describes “highly skilled senior operators” who combine hospitality skills with managerial ones, operate independently, carry responsibility for others and “make a range of operational business decisions”.

Twenty-eight units — eleven core and seventeen electives. That is more than twice the size of Certificate III, and it is the single largest packaging requirement of any qualification on this site so far.

The core is unmistakably managerial: budgets (two units), rostering, leading and managing people, monitoring work operations, managing conflict, establishing business relationships, legal risk and compliance, and implementing work health and safety practices. Only two of the eleven are customer-facing.

SITXGLC002 Identify and manage legal risks and comply with law is the unit that surprises people. A venue manager sits across liquor licensing, food safety, employment law and privacy — and the register treats that as core, not optional.
