For Students
After completing a PBRS Diploma or National Certificate, you are ideally placed to begin to take advantage of the many hospitality opportunities and jobs in this sector.
The knowledge that you gain from your course, including the pathway planning and career development that you are encouraged to undertake, will allow you to apply for a number of diverse roles such as; food and beverage attendant, bartender, front of house hotel worker, receptionist, café worker, barista or waiter. Subsequently you will be able to move to a more senior position.
Due to recent changes in legislation and requirements of industry your qualification is important in obtaining even the most entry level role. Subjects such as food safety, hygiene, coffee training and Licence Controllers Qualification (LCQ) will put you ahead of the game when it comes to applying for jobs both during and after your course.
