For Hospitality Venues

Easy on Your Roster. Serious About Your Licensing.

Everything your venue needs from one RTO — NSW-approved RSA & RCG, food hygiene, barista, and full Cert III Hospitality. Plus what online-only providers can't give you: real face-to-face licensing, certificates that survive an audit, and trainers who've actually worked behind a bar.

Why Hospitality Venues Choose NCVE

One RTO. Every Course. Real Trainers.

Licensing that holds up, delivery that fits your roster, and trainers who know hospitality because they've actually worked in it.

One Provider for Everything

RSA, RCG, food hygiene, barista, and full Cert III Hospitality from a single RTO. One contact, one portal, consistent quality. Less admin for your HR team, fewer invoices to chase.

NSW-Approved Licensing

NCVE is approved by Liquor & Gaming NSW to deliver RSA and RCG. Real assessors, proper competency cards, certificates that survive a licensing audit — not corners-cut online-only versions.

Virtual Delivery Around Your Shifts

Live, trainer-led Zoom sessions scheduled when your staff can actually attend. Your team keeps earning while they learn. RSA in a day, RCG in a day, combined in two.

Face-to-Face Where It Matters

Most online-only providers can't deliver licensed hospitality courses. We can — at our NSW campuses, at your venue, or a mix of both. Real practical assessment on real equipment.

Real Trainers, Not Chatbots

Every student gets a named trainer who's worked in hospitality — behind bars, in kitchens, on gaming floors. No AI marking. No pre-recorded videos. People who know the job your staff do.

NSW Smart and Skilled Approved

NCVE is an approved Smart and Skilled provider. Eligible staff can access NSW government-subsidised training — including traineeships — which can dramatically reduce what your venue pays to upskill your team.

Face-to-Face Licensing Workshops — RSA, RCG & Combined

Get your staff fully licensed, fast. NSW wide — we come to you.

NCVE is approved by Liquor & Gaming NSW to deliver these courses — which means real assessors, proper competency cards, and certificates that hold up in a licensing audit. Most online-only providers literally cannot offer this. We can.

  • RCG — Responsible Conduct of Gambling (SITHGAM022) — 1 day, $225
  • Combined RSA & RCG — 2 days, $330 (best value)
  • Delivered at your venue anywhere in NSW, our Wollongong, Nowra or Batemans Bay campuses, or 100% virtual via live Zoom
  • Same-day certificates and NSW competency cards on completion
Cert III in Hospitality — Build Careers, Keep Your Team

The qualification that gives your team a career pathway — and gives you a reason to keep them around.

Cert III in Hospitality is recognised by every hospitality employer in Australia. Delivered online with rolling intake, so new hires can start whenever you need them to. Designed to fit around shift work, with a named trainer guiding them the whole way.

NSW Smart and Skilled funded traineeships available. Eligible staff can complete Cert III Hospitality through an NCVE-delivered traineeship — staff keep working, the government subsidises most of the training cost, and you end up with credentialled team members without the full fee-for-service price tag.

Real trainer support throughout. No AI marking. No chatbot-graded quizzes. Every student gets a qualified trainer with actual industry experience — someone who's worked the jobs your team do.

What they'll cover:
  • Food and beverage service fundamentals
  • Customer service at the level your venue expects
  • Workplace health, safety and hygiene
  • Working in a team, following venue procedures
  • Pathway units for specific roles — bar, floor, front desk
  • Supervisor and management skill-building pathways
Short Courses — Online, Rolling Start

Industry-focused short courses your staff can start anytime.

Ideal for rapid upskilling, compliance refreshers, or filling specific skill gaps across your team. Clean nationally recognised Statements of Attainment on completion.
