Looking for a Management Career?
Since 1989, William Blue College of Hospitality Management has been developing the next generation of leaders in the hospitality industry. Our graduates have many exciting career options, and many are currently employed in management positions around the world. What do you want to be?
William Blue offers a wide range of flexible study options. Are you a ‘hands-on’ person, who enjoys learning in a practical environment where you can develop your industry skills? If so, you would be suited to the Vocational Advanced Diploma courses at William Blue. Do you prefer an academic style of learning where you can be taught business and management principles as part of a university-equivalent Degree? Our Higher Education Bachelor Degree is the course for you. Perhaps you would like to gain a powerful mix of both practical skills and a management degree? Then you can do both, by studying a Vocational Advanced Diploma and articulating through to a William Blue Bachelor Degree.
The Bachelor of Business is delivered at our state-of-the-art campus and online through the William Blue Learning Portal. You can choose which study option suits your needs or even blend these two options to take a mixture of online and face-to-face classes. No other hospitality management college in Australia offers you the flexibility to design a study program to meet your career and lifestyle needs, or gives you the option of completing your Bachelors Degree fully in on-line modality.

Real World Educators
You can’t learn about the hospitality and tourism industry from a college along – and you can’t teach hospitality and tourism unless you are working in it. Our industry is rapidly changing and you need to be part of it to know what’s really happening. That is why our lecturers don’t just teach – they’re also employed in senior roles in the hospitality industry. Through our connections with the hospitality, tourism, events and culinary arts worlds, our courses have been designed by industry and are taught by industry.
Paid Industry Training
Industry relevance is at the core of everything at we do. No one gets the practical experience in hospitality by sitting in a classroom all day! We think that industry experience is so important that the Industry Placement Program is a compulsory part of every course that we offer.
The career management team at William Blue will help you get paid part-time work and paid industry training while you study. We will help you with personal presentation skills, resume preparation, interview skills, and even arrange job interviews for you with leading employers. We don’t just train you to do to the job, we train you to get the job.

The William Blue College of Hospitality Management is location in the iconic Northpoint Building; about 5 minutes walk from North Sydney train station. The facilities are state of the art, and include purpose built lecture theatres, classrooms, kitchens, library, computer labs and our Award Winning Student Training Restaurant William Blue Dining. Open to the public for both lunch and dinner, William Blue Dining showcases the traditional skills and knowledge required of a hospitality industry professional. This knowledge will differentiate you as a William Blue student from others in the workplace.
