Organisation’s Delivery Plan
Thirty-Three units of competency are the minimum required for this qualification, units of competency were selected following the “Qualification Rules” consisting in select units of competency from the list provided in the SIT16 Training Package (available at training.gov.au) The program is organised in alternating “clusters” of Theory & Practical to provide a strategic structure to improve effectiveness of delivery and assessment procedures and activities. The program covers commercial cookery topics, which form the foundation & principle modules for individuals who intend to progress onto higher-level qualifications or enter the workforce. Learners are provided with strong specific information and training on wide range of areas around involving commercial kitchens skills, such as: Creating menus, rostering staff and conflict resolution, customer service and monitoring operations. As part of the practical experience, students conduct three end of course simulated services to invited guests covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner on campus within a simulated environment. This includes working within a fully equipped commercial kitchen. The service styles of a la carte, set menu, and buffet are rotated through the simulated services for group variety. WORK PLACEMENT Work Placement is a mandatory component for both SITHKOP005 and SITHCCC020 units. SITHKOP005 requires 12 service shifts and SITHCCC020 requires 48 service shifts to be undertaken in an operational commercial kitchen. Student are required to source their own work placements and to provide details of their work places so that the facilities and equipment can be verified by a CTI representative. A facilities/ equipment checklist based on the full range of facilities and equipment required by the assessment conditions of the training package is included in the Work Placement Log book and is required to be completed to confirm the availability of the required facilities and equipment with supporting evidence in the form of photographs*. Students are assessed in consultation with external third-party employers via validated student data entered into their work log books (1 per unit SITHKOP005 and SITHCCC020) provided at orientation. The log books are supported with student produced photographic evidence. The two student log books include equipment lists and are monitored by CTI assessors. An approved CTI assessor will visit by appointment students in their working environments to confirm the suitability of employers and assess individual students learning progress. *where the students’ workplace is unable to provide all the required facilities/equipment, students will be assessed within CTI’s fully equipped kitchen on campus. INTAKES DATES As per the published CTI ongoing schedule. For Commercial Cookery subjects, CTI delivers subjects in a cohort system ensuring candidates always will have the possibility to complete the qualification within the 78 weeks period. |
