Hospitality Apprentices & Trainees
The trainees and apprentices who complete training through Austrain finish their training with a higher level of competence than those who have trained with other RTOs. I put this down to the attention provided to each person in training and the practical training sessions our trainees and apprentices are exposed to. I have been involved with approximately 4-5 RTOs for different reasons over approximately a decade in the hospitality and club industry and I can confidently say that my preference is to use Austrain every time.
