Accelerated apprenticeship pathway
Build your foundation skills through structured training.
Apply your skills through practical industry experience.
Continue developing towards your recognised qualification and career.
The Industry Accelerated Apprenticeship Pilot (IAAP) is designed to take you from learning the fundamentals to working confidently in a commercial kitchen.
Over 30 months, you’ll progress through a structured combination of formal training and paid workplace experience. You’ll learn with Alliance College trainers, put your skills into practice on the job, and build your experience as you work towards your Certificate III in Commercial Cookery.
The program is designed around your development — giving you the training, workplace experience and support you need at each stage of your apprenticeship.
As part of IAAP, apprentices work towards the Certificate III in Commercial Cookery (SIT30821), providing participants with a structured pathway to develop the practical skills, knowledge and confidence needed to work in a professional kitchen.
Participants build their skills progressively, starting with essential foundations such as food safety, workplace health and safety, kitchen equipment and basic cookery techniques. As they progress, they develop practical experience across food preparation, cooking methods, kitchen operations and more advanced areas of commercial cookery.
The program connects structured training with real workplace experience, allowing participants to put their learning into practice in a professional environment while developing the confidence, capability and workplace habits needed to grow within the hospitality industry.
