South American students can also study at one of seven English Language Centres in Sydney and NSW.
“At TAFE NSW you have the real taste of professionalism and you have the chance to learn on the job,” said Johni. He was always drawn to cooking and was interested in learning about it overseas. “I am loving my course,” said Johni.
TAFE NSW offers students a unique Australian study
experience as well as Diploma-to-Degree study options raining

hospitality management, tourism, fashion, education and design.
“I have been at TAFE NSW for almost a year and the support from the teachers in my studies has been essential,” said Johni. He also commented that he has been able to learn about a wide range of cuisine from around the world. TAFE NSW has professional accredited teachers who have industry experience, class sizes are small with an average 1:15 teacher-student ratio.
“There are not only Australian students but students from all over the world,” he said.
Hospitality students are able to train in state of the art facilities and teaching restaurants.
“Before I started, I searched a few other school but none could offer what TAFE NSW
could offer,” he said. “Don’t think it twice. TAFE NSW is your place,” he said. Johni hopes to stay and work in Australia and continue learning and one day open his own business.
