Commercial Cookery

The ideal courses you can enrol to start honing your skills are: Cert III or Cert IV in Commercial Cookery and Diploma of Hospitality Management. It would usually take around 24 months to finish these courses together.
Nursing

In Australia you can pursue Diploma in Nursing or Bachelors of Nursing. The diploma course can be finished within two years and this will produce enrolled nurses. These nurses provide for the care and monitoring of patients. They would usually work under the supervision of a registered nurse.
Bachelors of Nursing, on the other hand, would produce registered nurses. Taking this course would usually take 3 years. After getting this degree, the student can make application to the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) to practice as a Registered Nurse.
Both types of nurses are highly in demand in Australia.
