recognition

cook Case Study

Adam has been working in the Hospitality industry for several years as a cook. Both he and his employer would like Adam to have some recognition of the skills he has gained and demonstrates.

Adam and the employer have talked to a teacher from the Hospitality teaching area and discussed how Adams skills can be recognized.

After discussion with the teacher, Adam and the employer have identified the Certificate level and course that is most suitable for Adam to make an RPL/RCC application for.

Adam completes the RPL Application form and pays the required fee.

Adam attended the interview with the Assessor and on the Assessment Plan they detailed the units Adam was applying for, the methods of assessment and the types of evidence that was suitable.

In Adam’s case the Evidence to be gathered was:

Self-assessment of skills to be provided by Adam. This was based on the criteria of the units applied for.
Employer recommendation – this letter/form detailed the responsibilities, tasks and duties Adam had been doing and the attitudes towards these.
References from past employers
Portfolio of Workplace products where Adam was involved in the planning or creation such as menus, function plans, rosters, budgets and photos of items prepared by Adam
Workplace observation by the assessor.
Recorded Interview with Adam by the assessor.
Adam was happy that he could provide all the evidence required.

Adam completed the enrolment process. He then gathered the evidence as planned. Adam attended two more interviews to finalise the evidence requirements.

The assessor considered all the evidence and made a judgement that the evidence provided demonstrated that Adam had achieved competency in the units applied for.

A certificate was issued to Adam.
