Course Description | This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to handle food safely during the storage, preparation, display, service and disposal of food. It requires the ability to follow predetermined procedures as outlined in a food safety program. The unit applies to all organisations with permanent or temporary kitchen premises or smaller food preparation areas. This includes restaurants, cafes, clubs, and hotels; tour operators; attractions; function, event, exhibition and conference catering; educational institutions; aged care facilities; correctional centres; hospitals; defence forces; cafeterias, kiosks, canteens and fast food outlets; residential catering; in-flight and other transport catering. Safe food handling practices are based on an organisation’s individual food safety program. The program would normally be based on the hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) method, but this unit can apply to other food safety systems. It applies to food handlers who directly handle food during the course of their daily work activities. This includes cooks, chefs, caterers, kitchen hands and food and beverage attendants. Food handlers must comply with the requirements contained within the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. In some States and Territories businesses are required to designate a food safety supervisor who is required to be certified as competent in this unit through a registered training organisation. Food safety legislative and knowledge requirements may differ across borders. Those developing training to support this unit must consult the relevant state or territory food safety authority to determine any accreditation arrangements for courses, trainers and assessors. |

Assessment
You are assessed using four (4) methods:
- Multiple-choice questions
- Case studies
- Written questions
- Workplace Tasks (includes Observer Reports as well as video and photo evidence)
Multiple-Choice Questions
There are a number of sections in this course. At the end of each section is an assessment. You are required to study each section in sequence and answer every question correctly to move onto the next section.
How it Works:
1. Read the question
2. Select your answer/s from the selection of answers given
3. Click Submit
4. Move onto the next question
5. At the end of the questions, you will receive the result of your assessment
If you answer all questions correctly, you will progress to the next section.
If you answer any questions incorrectly, you will be given the opportunity to resubmit those questions. You will be given feedback on which question you answered incorrectly. You can take the multiple-choice assessment as many times as you need.
Case Studies & Written Questions
There are multiple case studies and project questions (simulated work environment). Taken from the whole course, the case studies and written questions are designed to put your knowledge into practice in real-life situations.
Workplace Tasks
After you complete the online assessment, you are required to complete and return the Workplace Tasks module. This module (and the tasks contained with it) form part of the overall assessment.
It is a requirement that you demonstrate the skills you gained from the online course during one (1) shift in a real workplace.
A real workplace must include an operational commercial food preparation area, bar or kitchen with the fixtures, large and small equipment and workplace documentation.
You are required to demonstrate that you work in accordance with the organisation food safety procedures and legislation. You must show you can:
- Implement procedures for food safety
- Store food safely
- Prepare food safely
- Provide safe single-use items
- Maintain a clean environment
- Dispose of food safely
- Demonstrate your ability to access and interpret food safety procedures
Ensure the person completing your Observer Report observes you doing everything listed on the report.
Who can sign off my Observer Report?
Your Observer Report must be completed by someone who is currently working in the food industry with a minimum of 12 months experience. It can be someone you:
- are currently working with; or
- have volunteered with.
Are you not working in the food industry?
Here are a few options if you are new to the industry to have the practical assessment completed:
- If you have worked in the food industry before, you may be able to volunteer some of your time with your previous establishment.
- If you have a friend or family member employed in the food industry that meets the above requirements, they can also sign off on your practical assessment.
- You can volunteer for a few shifts with a charity, community organisation or other food business. Many places are happy to have volunteers help out in return for completing the observer report. If you’re looking for charities near you, a great place to find out more information is your local council.
Maximum Attempts & Additional Attempts
Students are given three (3) attempts to complete the final assessment component of each module and be marked ‘Competent’. If you do not pass the assessment component at the end of each module on your third attempt, you can purchase an additional three attempts. The cost to purchase an additional three attempts is $12.
