FREE TRAINING OPPORTUNITY FOR VICTORIAN HOSPITALITY WORKERS - COMPLETE A QUALIFICATION FOR FREE
We’ve had some chefs and front of house workers get in touch recently wondering if there was a way for them to study during the down time that they suddenly have due to COVID-19 business downturn.
As a family run, hospitality-only training provider - we too rely on the hospitality industry to be training and operating to survive. We’ve worked out a way for us to assist hospitality workers and businesses in this time of need - by offering free training opportunities.
You can complete a Certificate IV in Commercial Cookery or a Certificate IV in Hospitality for FREE.

We will be adding to the page regularly and have decided to provide all this information with free access as a way to support both our clients and the hospitality industry as a whole. Feel free to access, link, print off or share this web page.

OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
As our skilled employees improve, they are encouraged to take on more responsibilities in the venue. 3 of our last appointments to Venue Managers were part of the AVTES training program. That alone speaks volumes.
Dean Normington
Operations Manager, Black Rhino Group
The best thing about having an organisation like AVTES involved in my business is that it gives me the freedom to step back and work on the business, to look at other opportunities and more importantly spend time with my family.
Adrian Alexander
Owner,
Cervo Cafe Bar
We experienced an increase in sales of well over half a million dollars ($500,000) and I credit a lot of that to the staff. Staff are confident in their roles and are motivated by having a recognised qualification.
