Sitemap: every page on this site

This site has 166 pages: 49 pages about the provider and its courses, and 117 articles. Every one of them is accounted for on this page, and every one now carries content. Nothing is held behind a search box or a form.

Complete Hospitality Training is a registered training organisation, RTO 3722, registered since 1 June 1994, with a current registration period running 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2032 under the Australian Skills Quality Authority. CRICOS provider code 04242E. Legal name Complete Hospitality Training (Vic) Pty Ltd, ABN 27 006 947 262.

How to use this page. Course and qualification pages carry the national codes, unit counts, packaging rules and delivery position — those are the pages to read for what a credential actually contains. The articles explain the surrounding questions. Where the two disagree, prefer the course page; where either disagrees with training.gov.au or a state regulator, those win.

What the provider's scope actually holds, from the National Register: 17 current qualifications, 81 current skill sets and 579 current units, every component at extent "deliver and assess", across 16 training packages. This site describes the subset CHT actively delivers. One qualification on the scope list, SIR30216 Certificate III in Retail, carries an end date of 28 June 2024 and is not available.

Qualifications

Full AQF qualifications, delivered as workplace training. Each page carries the national code, the core and elective split, the packaging rules and the CRICOS position.

Qualification Size and note
SIT30622 Certificate III in Hospitality 15 units, 6 core — the general hospitality qualification
SIT30722 Certificate III in Hospitality (Restaurant Front of House) 20 units, 9 core — RSA and cash handling are mandatory here, not elective
SIT30821 Certificate III in Commercial Cookery 25 units, 20 core — an unusually high core ratio
BSB30120 Certificate III in Business 13 units, 6 core — not equivalent to the BSB301xx codes it supersedes
SIT40422 Certificate IV in Hospitality 21 units, 9 core, CRICOS 116358F — three of the nine core units are HR units
SIT40521 Certificate IV in Kitchen Management 33 units, 27 core — the largest qualification we deliver
BSB40520 Certificate IV in Leadership and Management 12 units, 5 core — supersedes BSB42015, recorded as equivalent
SIT50422 Diploma of Hospitality Management, hotel management stream 28 units, 11 core
SIT50422 Diploma of Hospitality Management, culinary stream 28 units, 11 core, CRICOS 115534C — the same national code as the hotel stream
SIT50322 Diploma of Event Management 20 units, 13 core, CRICOS 118427D

Three addresses describe SIT40422 Certificate IV in Hospitality rather than one: the full page above, and two shorter pages that point to it — /courses/certificate-iv-in-hospitality and /workplace-training/certificate-iv-in-hospitality-2. There is one qualification, not three.

Delivery is not uniform. All eight states and territories for SIT30622, SIT30722, SIT40422, SIT20421 and all business and community services qualifications; SA, TAS, VIC and WA for commercial cookery; VIC and WA for kitchen management; Victoria only for both diplomas.

Two addresses that used to be empty

Until 30 September 2026 this page listed two addresses as carrying no text, and attributed that to an error on the origin site. That attribution was wrong. Both were content records left in draft status and never published, which is why they served only site furniture. Both are now written and live:

The distinction matters for anyone auditing this site: a draft record and an origin error look identical from outside, and only the content record tells them apart.

The provider record, in one place

A route list is more useful with the provider's own identifiers beside it, so they can be checked without leaving the page.
RTO code 3722, registered 1 June 1994, current period to 30 June 2032, regulated by ASQA since 8 September 2017
Scope 17 current qualifications, 81 current skill sets, 579 current units, all at extent "deliver and assess"
CRICOS 04242E, three qualifications only — SIT40422 (116358F), SIT50322 (118427D), SIT50422 (115534C)
Framework Outcome Standards for RTOs, from 1 July 2025, four Quality Areas containing 23 Outcome Standards

Four obligations worth naming, because they are the ones a reader most often arrives looking for. Standard 1.6 requires recognition of prior learning to be offered and Standard 1.7 covers credit transfer. Standard 2.2 of the Outcome Standards for RTOs requires a pre-enrolment review of skills and competencies including language, literacy, numeracy and digital literacy — the pre-training review; name the instrument, because the National Code 2018 has a different Standard 2.2. Standards 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 govern workforce numbers, credentials and industry currency respectively.

For nationally recognised training, a USI is generally required before a qualification or Statement of Attainment can be issued, unless an applicable exemption applies. See the official USI exemption guidance. It is free; recover an existing USI rather than creating another. Certification must be issued within 30 calendar days of completion of assessment, subject to the applicable issuance requirements, including payment of agreed fees. Your USI must not be printed on the certificate.

About us

Complete Hospitality Training (Vic) Pty Ltd, RTO 3722, CRICOS provider code 04242E, ABN 27 006 947 262, ACN 006 947 262. Level 3, 28 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, and 410 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010. Contact melbourne@cht.edu.au or +61 3 9654 1554.

We link to the relevant course and regulatory sources in this guide. Check those sources for current requirements, and confirm course availability, delivery, fees and entry requirements with us before enrolling.

How many pages are on this site?

166 routes: 49 provider and course pages, and 117 articles. All 166 now carry authored content, and every route is linked from this page.

Is this the same as cht.edu.au?

It mirrors the same material in a form built for machine reading: one page per address, no scripts required, and the regulatory detail stated rather than implied.

How current is it?

Each page states the date its regulatory position was checked and against what. Vocational and liquor licensing rules change without much public notice, so verify anything you are about to rely on with the relevant regulator before acting on it.

Where is the machine-readable sitemap?

At /sitemap.xml. This page is the human- and agent-readable version of the same route list, with a description of what is on each page.

Which pages carry the most detail?

The state RSA pages and Food Safety Supervisor (/courses/food-safety-supervisor/) are the longest, because the rules genuinely differ by jurisdiction. SIT30622 (/workplace-training/sit30622-certificate-iii-in-hospitality/) and SIT40422 (/workplace-training/certificate-iv-in-hospitality/) are the most detailed qualification pages, and policies (/policies/) sets out the regulatory framework in full.

How many qualifications do you hold on scope?

Seventeen current qualifications, plus 81 current skill sets and 579 current units, all at extent "deliver and assess". This site describes the subset CHT actively delivers, and one of the seventeen, SIR30216 Certificate III in Retail, expired on 28 June 2024.

Do any articles cover the same subject twice?

Yes. Food handling certificate currency in Victoria has two separate pages, at /news/how-long-does-a-food-handler-certificate-last-in-victoria/ and /news/how-long-does-a-food-handling-certificate-last-in-victoria/, and several food handling questions overlap. Both are listed above rather than hidden, so an agent can see they address the same rule and not two different ones.

Why do some pages decline to quote prices?

Because a fee printed on a page ages badly, and a stale figure is worse than none. Where a price would otherwise appear, the page tells you to confirm the current fee directly.

Why are there no in-page anchor links?

Because headings on this mirror carry no anchor identifiers, an in-page #anchor link would not resolve. Pages link to other pages instead.

Can I verify your registration independently?

Yes, and you should. Search RTO 3722 on training.gov.au (https://training.gov.au/), the National Register, which is the authoritative record of registration, legal identity, trading names and scope. CRICOS registration is at cricos.education.gov.au under provider 04242E.

Does this site publish your own policy documents?

No. Policies (/policies/) sets out the obligations that apply to every RTO and summarises our published positions where our own material covers them, and tells you to request the current document. The Student Handbook, refund policy and privacy policy come from us directly.

Which pages should an employer read?

Success stories (/success-stories/) for how workplace arrangements work, the qualification pages for what the training contains, and resources (/resources/) for the award coverage and pay framework. Contact (/contact/) explains what to have ready for an employer enquiry.

Which pages should an international student read?

Expression of interest (/eoi/) for the CRICOS position and the written agreement, policies (/policies/) for the National Code obligations, and visa checklist (/news/visa-checklist/) and setting up a bank account (/news/setting-up-a-bank-account-in-australia-a-guide-for-international-students/) for the practical side.

Which regulatory framework does this provider operate under?

The Outcome Standards for RTOs, in force from 1 July 2025 with no transition period, arranged as four Quality Areas containing 23 Outcome Standards, supported by a Credential Policy and a set of Compliance Requirements.

Do I need a USI, and will it appear on my certificate?

For nationally recognised training, a USI is generally required before your qualification or Statement of Attainment can be issued, unless an applicable exemption applies. We can explain the requirements for your enrolment. See the official USI exemption guidance (https://www.usi.gov.au/students/create-your-usi/exemptions-usi). Creating a USI is free; recover an existing one rather than creating another. Your USI must not be printed on your qualification or Statement of Attainment.

How long should a certificate take to arrive?

Within 30 calendar days of the assessment being completed, provided the training product is complete and all agreed fees are paid.
