The AHA Hospitality & Tourism COVID-19 Hygiene Course has been backed by the Western Australian Government and is designed to provide you with hygiene awareness and procedures.

The course provides strategies for improving attitude and perspective relating to contextual matters in customer service as well as raising service focus and awareness.

When it comes to getting a job in tourism and hospitality, having skills and knowledge can really give you the edge over other jobseekers. There’s a range of vocational education and training (VET) courses available at WA TAFEs and private training providers that can set you up to be job ready, with the skills and knowledge that employers are looking for. Or if you already have some skills and experience but would like a career change or promotion, a training course may be the way to get there.
