Student Stories - Hospitality, Tourism and Events

Coco is one of the stars from Pressure Cooker, CIT's reality TV show. Coco grew up in Medellin, Colombia, surrounded by family who loved food and cooking.

The skills I learn at CIT I apply in my everyday life. It’s helping me at home, at work, and in life. After this course, I want to become a chef and maybe after that…open my own restaurant.

CIT staff are really friendly, motivating and supportive... because of my teacher and his guidance I won a bronze medal in the 2017 World Skills Australia competition representing Canberra region in the restaurant service category.

Teaching methods at CIT are different as they concentrate on practical more than theory which is really good.

Maria was a lawyer in her home town of Bogota, Colombia when she decided she needed a TOTAL career change. She packed up and moved to Australia with the dream of becoming a pastry chef...

Many services are available to CIT students to make sure you do not feel lost or nostalgic, they help make CIT a home away from home!

I learned more about what I needed to face on my career path and gained a lot of confidence along the way that will help me succeed in the field of my dream.
