Some of the short courses offered include Coffee Making, Farm Chemical Users, Industrial Licensing, Food Processing, Food Hygiene, Training and Assessment Upgrade and Responsible Service of Alcohol (VIC).

Courses cover the spectrum of training, from nationally accredited training packages to the VET in Schools programs, as well as industry specific training for the business and manufacturing sectors, on or off site.

To cater for its mixture of students, from youth to mature age, the campus contains a vast range of student services and facilities, including a student lounge, classrooms containing video and projection equipment and a fully equipped training kitchen and restaurant – Kickham’s Mill Restaurant.  To showcase the hospitality apprentices, this training restaurant offers fine dinning of an evening or lunch, however bookings are essential.

To ensure that training is relevant and responsive, the experienced campus staff have developed significant links with local government and the community sector, as well as the rural, manufacturing, agriculture, small business and tourism sectors.
