When you’re making the important decision of choosing an Australian training provider for your hospitality and culinary training, there are a few key considerations. At Access Recognised Training Australia (ACCESS), we specialise in delivering industry-informed, high-quality programs that prepare you for real-world success in the hospitality and culinary sector.
Whatever your reason, choosing the right provider matters and ACCESS is trusted by the Canberra hospitality industry for a reason.
Why ACCESS Stands Out
ACCESS has an excellent reputation for delivering hospitality and culinary training in Canberra for over 15 years. We are deeply embedded in the local industry, with hundreds of hospitality businesses entrusting us to train and assess their apprentices. This level of trust is not given lightly, it’s earned through years of delivering training that is responsive, relevant, and produces job-ready graduates.
When businesses select a provider for SIT30821 Certificate III in Commercial Cookery, they want someone who can build skills quickly so apprentices become productive team members. The fact that ACCESS is the preferred provider for the majority of Canberra’s culinary industry is a strong endorsement of our quality and commitment.
State-of-the-Art Training Facilities
At ACCESS, we believe the learning environment plays a huge role in your success. That’s why we’ve invested in two premium training locations in Canberra:
Mercure Hotel Canberra - Level 10 Campus. Our flagship campus offers modern training rooms with panoramic views of Canberra and the surrounding mountains. This space provides an inspiring environment for classroom-based learning, making your study experience as enjoyable as it is rewarding; and
Gungahlin Lakes Training Kitchen: Our dedicated commercial training kitchen is nestled within the stunning Gungahlin Lakes Golf Club. This fully equipped facility provides realistic, hands-on culinary training, along with opportunities for work experience and employment pathways through our strong local industry connections.
International Students: What Makes ACCESS Different?
Training apprentices in the workplace is different from teaching international students in a classroom or training kitchen environment but this is where ACCESS offers something unique. We’ve taken the best elements of our work-based training programs and integrated them into our international student delivery, creating the most industry-relevant, responsive, and tailored program in Canberra.
Our programs, SIT30821 Certificate III in Commercial Cookery and SIT40521 Certificate IV in Kitchen Management are designed for students who are serious about building a hospitality or cookery career in Canberra or internationally.
If you’re looking for shortcuts or the cheapest option, ACCESS may not be for you. We focus on quality training at a fair price because your future career deserves nothing less.
Our Reputation Speaks for Itself
Choosing a provider trusted by both domestic apprentices and international students is essential. Our reputation is built on:
Expert Trainers: All ACCESS trainers and assessors have strong hospitality backgrounds. They’ve built successful careers in the industry before moving into training to give back to the next generation;
Passion and Care: Our educators genuinely care about your success. Many former ACCESS students are now industry leaders and many have returned to ACCESS to train their own staff; and
Specialisation: ACCESS is not a generalist RTO. We specialise exclusively in hospitality and cookery, putting all our energy into delivering the best programs possible.
Committed to Your Future
From your first interaction with ACCESS, you’ll discover a provider deeply committed to your journey. Our programs go beyond the classroom, they prepare you for the realities of a culinary career in Canberra, across Australia, or internationally.
If you’re ready to take the next step towards a rewarding career in hospitality and culinary, join a provider that the local industry trusts.
