About AMCA
Alma Mater is a Latin phrase meaning “the university, school, or college that one formerly attended”. Alma Mater College Australia (AMCA) aims to become a college where many international students feel at home, staying true to its name.
As one of Australia's leading government-approved training providers, AMCA's top-quality qualifications in commercial cookery, hospitality management, and early childhood education and care, and individual and community support will be recognised anywhere in Australia.
AMCA is in the heart of Melbourne's CBD, conveniently located two minutes away from Flinders Street Station.
Individual Support (Ageing and Disability)
Our Individual Support (Ageing and Disability) course is intended to teach entry-level workers for positions in residential aged care institutions, community care and nursing homes, and disability care facilities.
At the same time, our Community Services course teaches students the skills and knowledge required to work in a wide range of community service roles. This course teaches students to care for various parts of a person's life and assist them in dealing with concerns ranging from health and security to emotional well-being. The C.III program includes 150 hours of practical work experience, whereas the Diploma program includes an additional 200 hours.
Early childhood and care
Our early childhood education and care courses cover topics that are essential in the early childhood and care industry. All students will gain exposure to leadership and management practices to support their career progression.
AMCA has partnered with one of Melbourne's premier early childhood education & care services centres: Bira Bira Early Learning Centre. This centre in Cheltenham is where AMCA students will fulfil 200 hours of compulsory pre-arranged work placement and gain a superior applied learning experience within a best-practice environment that puts the individual first.
Kitchen management and hospitality management
AMCA is the premiere cooking school specialising in Italian cuisine for international students in Australia.
At AMCA, students will learn authentic Italian cuisine with a focus on exploring the origin and tradition of a large variety of regional recipes, including the well known and lesser known. Students will also discover original recipes, the methodologies of Italian cooking, as well as the culture and culinary terminology.
We aim to provide students with the opportunity to experience an authentic journey into Italian culinary traditions. Our practical cookery courses are designed to equip students to become specialists of Italian cuisine, and as a result, be successful in the hospitality industry.
