At VTS, we believe the best learning happens when students get their hands dirty – or in this case, when they get their hands on the coffee machine! Our SIT30622 Certificate III in Hospitality program continues to deliver exceptional results, transforming nervous beginners into confident hospitality professionals.

From Classroom to Café: Students Shine at Campus Events

VTS Certificate III Hospitality students and trainers with guests at Campus Walk Through Morning Tea event

This month, our VTS Career Café became the perfect training ground when our Certificate III in Hospitality students took center stage, hosting a Campus Walk Through & Morning Tea event. What started as nervous energy during setup quickly transformed into confident smiles and professional service as students served barista-made coffees, fresh muffins, croissants and sweet treats to impressed guests.

This hands-on experience exemplifies our approach to hospitality training – real customers, real service and real growth. Watching our students develop from hesitant beginners to confident service professionals is what makes our job so rewarding.

Barista Skills: The Perfect Blend of Fun and Career Development

Our weekly Barista Skills sessions have become a highlight for both students and staff (who can resist great coffee?). These practical sessions are integral to the Certificate III in Hospitality curriculum, where students master essential food and beverage service skills.

From perfecting milk steaming techniques to delivering exceptional customer service, every element is designed to make our graduates job-ready from day one.

Studying while juggling work, family and community commitments is a tough gig—especially across regional WA. At VTS, we want our students to know we see the effort they put in, the distances they travel and the challenges they push through. The VTS Regional Student of the Month award recognises that commitment. It may honour a student who achieves outstanding results, or someone who has persevered through difficult circumstances and keeps moving toward their learning goals.

The VTS Regional Student of the Month for June 2025 was:

Dora Smith’s journey as a VTS student exemplifies the transformative power of education and determination. Despite facing personal challenges that could have derailed her studies, Dora has demonstrated remarkable resilience, using these experiences to fuel her commitment to learning rather than letting them become obstacles. Her dedication to developing work-ready skills has been unwavering and she approaches each learning opportunity with the kind of enthusiasm that inspires both instructors and fellow students. What sets Dora apart is not just her academic progress, but the positive atmosphere she creates wherever she goes – her natural warmth, infectious humor and optimistic outlook have made the classroom a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.

The true measure of Dora’s growth became evident when she recently co-facilitated a training session, receiving outstanding feedback that highlighted her natural leadership abilities and training potential. This achievement represents more than just a successful presentation; it demonstrates her evolution from student to emerging educator, showcasing the confidence and skills she has developed throughout her VTS journey. Her proactive approach to career planning, particularly her clear goal of becoming a trainer, reflects a student who doesn’t just participate in her education but takes ownership of it. Dora’s recognition as Regional Student of the Month celebrates not only her academic achievements but also her ability to lift others while pursuing her own dreams, embodying the very best qualities of what vocational education can nurture and develop.
