“I have worked with Lynsey and the OZ skills team over the past few years to complete both my Certificate III and IV in Hospitality, I have found both courses have helped me immensely in my knowledge and development as a hospitality leader.
My trainers were all working in the hospitality industry which made them very relatable and interesting as they had the most recent industry knowledge and experience, they also tailored the content of the lessons to JBS Hospitality which made it very easy to engage with and relate too.
Lynsey and the team were extremely flexible with the scheduling of the lessons and always were mindful of my position and workload, all the lessons were always done in a JBS venue the worked for me.”
David Harrison - 2024 Student
“Working with Lynsey and the team at Oz Skills Careers College has been critical in effectively training and developing our workforce. The on-site training is so effective for our employees and all we have to do is offer the space.
The trainers are so incredibly respectful of our operational needs and communicate effectively to our employees at all levels, resulting in excellent staff engagement. The one-on-one, regular consultation with the trainers keeps me up to date with the progress of the sessions and helps me continuously tailor the course information to benefit the operation.
Watching our team members deliver their training skills in a real-life situation is exciting and has undoubtedly resulted in greater staff retention, internal promotions, and a continuous learning environment.
I highly recommend Oz Skills Careers College for any hospitality business who wants to create a culture of development and a high performing team.’

“Our partnership with Oz Skills began at The Precinct Hotel in 2014 and expanded to The Albion Rooftop & Club once opened in 2019.
We identified through both employee requests and skill shortages that there was a need to provide further hospitality specific on the job training.
The ability for Oz skills to tailor this to our individual venues and relate this content to the on the job challenges and situations our staff would face on a daily basis was invaluable.
Delivered by hospitality professionals these courses helped nurture and develop key skills that led to improved employee performance and also greater job satisfaction.
I would highly recommend Oz Skills for any business considering implementing further development and training programs.”

“Through working with Lynsey and the team at Oz Skills Careers College for the past 7 years, we have found courses in Certificate III & IV in Hospitality and Certificate IV in Leadership & Management, to have provided highly beneficial training for handfuls of young staff looking to increase their understanding of the industry and develop their skillset to become incredible hospitality employees. We have also found it to have been a helpful way of improving staff retention.
Oz Skills tailor the courses to each businesses individual needs to ensure your staff receive the correct skills required for their role. Even for myself with 15+ years of hospitality experience, the courses had been a great refresher, and I had learnt a lot of really useful new information and techniques too.
The team of trainers are well educated and have up-to-date knowledge on all the topics in the courses. They provide helpful industry relevant insight and understanding, and are engaging with the students, making them feel like the classes are less about absorbing loads of information, but rather an interactive catch-up where they are comfortable sharing answers and ideas with their peers.
Oz Skills has been integral in the growth of each business I have been a part of for many years, and we will continue to partner for years to come.”
