Alma Mater College Australia (AMCA) is one of the leading government-approved vocational training providers in Australia. AMCA is located in the centre of the Melbourne CBD, a stone's throw from the Flinders Street railway station.

AMCA offers all early childhood education and care course attendees exposure to management and leadership practices to aid in the progression of their careers. As part of these courses, AMCA partners with Bira Bira Early Learning Centre, a premier provider of early childhood education and care services in Melbourne.

On the other hand, those studying AMCA's kitchen and hospitality management courses get to learn about Italian cuisine while exploring the tradition and origin of various regional recipes. AMCA's cooking classes are designed in such a way that they transform students into Italian cuisine experts. AMCA’s Advanced Diploma of Hospitality package includes 15 months of full-time* industry placement, while its Diploma of Hospitality package includes 9 months of full-time* industry placement. A 6-month full-time* industry placement is also available in its C.IV in Kitchen Management (formerly known as the C.IV in Commercial Cookery) and Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care. These industry placements can be paid!

Students can work on average 24 hours per week during their school term (Study in session) from 1st of July 2023 but our students can work up to 44 hours per week where 20 hours of that time is part of their industry placement study during “their Industry Placement” for above mentioned programs. During these placement time, students may need to do tutorial classes and workshops as well as online assessments. These industry placements can be paid.
