Questions about Certificate III in Hospitality

Answered from the records on this page.

How much does this course actually cost?
Across the 37 colleges with a fee recorded, this course runs from A$3,700 to A$19,275, with a middle figure of A$9,000. That is the same qualification on the same register — the spread is real, and it is the reason the list above can be sorted by price and by cost per week. Fees come from the CRICOS register, which is not authoritative for what a college charges today.
Why does a price here differ from the college's own website?
The register records what the provider lodged. The provider's own page records what they charge now. Where the two differ, the college is the one to trust — always confirm the fee, the course length and the intake dates with them before you apply or pay anything.
Does it matter which state I study this in?
This course is registered with colleges across 8 states and territories, and the fee varies between them — you can see the spread above. Living costs also differ by city, and that difference is often larger than the difference in tuition. What we cannot tell you is which is right for you; that depends on things this register does not record.
What does this page not tell me?
Entry requirements, English language levels, intake dates and what the course leads to afterwards. The CRICOS register does not publish any of those, so neither do we. Entry requirements are set by each college. For anything about a visa, a registered migration agent is the person to ask — every one of them holds a number issued by the Migration Agents Registration Authority.
