So why is a certificate in commercial cookery very popular among international students?

There are 2 main reasons:

2. Because of the massive demand, the chef occupation has been included in a Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) list meaning anyone with a certificate in commercial cookery or hospitality and associated experience can apply for the relevant visas such as:
   1. 190 – Skilled Nominated (subclass 190)
   2. 407 – Training visa (subclass 407)
   3. 489 – Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489) – State or Territory nominated

   6. 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (provisional) (subclass 494) – Employer sponsored stream
   7. 491 – Skilled Work Regional (provisional) visa (subclass 491) State or Territory nominated

What is. the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and how does it work?

The Australian government conducts research in order to identify and fulfill workforce demands of an industry in short-term, medium-term and long-term.

STSOL is a list of occupations that have been determined by the department of home affairs to be high in demand.

This means anyone with a qualification belonging to the STSOL list can apply for a range of permanent and temporary visas if they meet the eligibility criteria. You can read more about the eligibility criteria here.
