General Information
Requirements
Assessment Method
Assessors can use the criteria to determine levels of prior learning through dialog with the candidate, direct observation and any other appropriate and relevant evidence. They can score each of the criteria "L", "S", "H". An "N" indicates no evidence and this is the default setting. "L" indicates some capability but some help still required and the candidate is not secure with that particular criterion. "S" indicates secure mastery of the criterion. "H" indicates that the candidate is operating beyond the basic requirements of the criterion. If all criteria are matched with "S" or "H" the unit is passed. All criteria must be at least "S" for a pass.
The Entry 3 learner will be becoming increasingly capable of making use of skills, knowledge and understanding to carry out simple structured tasks and activities with occasional guidance and intervention. They will start to relate tasks to contexts and be aware of consequences of actions for themselves and others. While support and guidance are still needed they will demonstrate increasing capability of working self-sufficiently with simple structured tasks.
An activity will typically be 'structured' when:
* there are several steps that need to be sequential; and
* the learner has opportunities to practice the sequence or clear guidance is provided.
1.1 I can carry out routine maintenance
The candidate should show that they understand how to look after their work space and tools
Evidence: Relevant information in their publications and documents.
Additional information and guidance
Candidate's work space should be clean of clutter and organise to be effective and efficient.
1.2 I can manually clean dishes and sinks
Candidates should be able to demonstrate basic cleaning of main items
Evidence: From portfolio files and assessor verification.
Additional information and guidance
It will not always be likely, especially when starting out in this trade, to have the luxury of help or machines to do jobs. Therefore, candidates need to demonstrate that they can do these basic tasks to make sure they have what is required to carry out their service.
1.3 I can operate kitchen appliances
Candidates should demonstrate their skills
Evidence: From portfolio files.
Additional information and guidance
A range of appliances will be available and will vary from kitchen to kitchen, so candidates should show a good level of competence.
Candidates will be able to carry out basic preparation
Evidence: Assessors observation of finalised published work.
All kitchens rely on a ready supply of the staples of certain food items or basic plates of food. Candidates should be able to demonstrate this.
The assessor should keep a record of assessment judgements made for each candidate and make notes of any significant issues for any candidate. They must be prepared to enter into dialog with their Account Manager and provide their assessment records to the Account Manager through the on-line mark book. They should be prepared to provide evidence as a basis for their judgements should it be required by the Principal Assessor or their Account Manager/external moderator. Before authorising certification, the Account Manager must be satisfied that the assessors judgements are sound.
