Build A Career In One Of New Zealand's Biggest Industries Or Start Your Own Business

Do you love the buzz of hospitality, the people, the pace, the service done well? Whether you want to move up into hospitality management, work across hotels and tourism, or one day open a venue of your own, the Hospitality Business Pathway gives you the industry knowledge and the business skills to make it happen.

Hospitality and tourism are among New Zealand's biggest employers, and they run on skilled people. Hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars and tourism operators across the country are looking for people who understand how great venues actually work, and with tourism continuing to grow, the opportunities stretch from the big cities to every visitor town in between. Plus, hospitality experience travels: these are skills you can take anywhere in the world.

Designed by industry experts, this pathway combines three hospitality and tourism certificates with a complete start-your-own-business course.

Throughout this pathway, you'll cover:

Food & Beverage Service: Learn the craft of hospitality service from the ground up, including kitchen and food management, menu planning, and the catering and personnel skills that keep a busy service running smoothly. You'll also cover the bar side of the industry, from alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to mixing drinks, service procedures and the fundamentals of wine appreciation, so you can deliver the polished front-of-house experience great venues are known for.

Hotel Operations & Team Leadership: Go behind the scenes of how hotels really run, including front desk management, housekeeping and room servicing, control systems, and building and facility management. Just as importantly, you'll build the people skills that turn good staff into great managers, learning how to organise a workplace, manage and motivate a team, and become the kind of leader staff want to work for.

Travel, Tourism & Your Own Business: Understand how New Zealand's travel and tourism industry works, from destinations and accommodation to travel agency systems, transport and airline bookings, and package tours. Then learn how to turn it all into a business of your own, working through business structures, your business plan, accounting and bookkeeping foundations, and a full Certificate in Xero so you can set up and manage your venture with confidence.

Verify Your Credential With SEEK Pass

When you complete your course you won't just walk away with new skills, you'll walk away with a credential you can prove. Upon completion you'll receive a unique SEEK Pass link to verify your certificate, which you can add straight to your SEEK profile. That means employers can see your credential is genuine the moment they view your application, helping you get noticed faster and stand out in a competitive job market.

95% of graduates from this course provider reported an increased ability to get a new job or promotion upon completing their course. This pathway is your first step towards a hospitality career with real momentum, or a venue with your name on the door.
