Assessment instructions
Overview
Prior to commencing the assessments, your trainer/assessor will explain each assessment task and
the terms and conditions relating to the submission of your assessment task. Please consult with
your trainer/assessor if you are unsure of any questions. It is important that you understand and
adhere to the terms and conditions, and address fully each assessment task. If any assessment task
is not fully addressed, then your assessment task will be returned to you for resubmission. Your
trainer/assessor will remain available to support you throughout the assessment process.
Written work
Assessment tasks are used to measure your understanding and underpinning skills and knowledge of
the overall unit of competency. When undertaking any written assessment tasks, please ensure that
you address the following criteria:
➢ Your assessment tasks are well presented, well referenced and word processed
➢ Your assessment tasks include your full legal name on each and every page.
Active participation
It is a condition of enrolment that you actively participate in your studies. Active participation is
completing all the assessment tasks on time.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them
as your own. Plagiarism is a serious act and may result in a learner’s exclusion from a course. When
you have any doubts about including the work of other authors in your assessment, please consult
your trainer/assessor. The following list outlines some of the activities for which a learner can be
accused of plagiarism:
If it is identified that you have plagiarised within your assessment, then a meeting will be organised
to discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly.
Collusion
Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an assignment as their own that is, in fact, the result in
whole or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person or persons. Collusion involves
the cooperation of two or more learners in plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct and,
as such, both parties are subject to disciplinary action. Collusion or copying from other learners is
not permitted and will result in a “0” grade and NYC.
Assessments must be typed using document software such as (or similar to) MS Office. Handwritten
assessments will not be accepted (unless, prior written confirmation is provided by the
trainer/assessor to confirm).
Competency outcome
There are two outcomes of assessments: S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory (requires more
training and experience).
Once the learner has satisfactorily completed all the tasks for this module the learner will be
awarded “Competent” (C) or “Not yet Competent” (NYC) for the relevant unit of competency.
If you are deemed “Not Yet Competent” you will be provided with feedback from your assessor and
will be given another chance to resubmit your assessment task(s). If you are still deemed as “Not Yet
Competent” you will be required to re-enrol in the unit of competency.
Additional evidence
If we, at our sole discretion, determine that we require additional or alternative
information/evidence in order to determine competency, you must provide us with such
information/evidence, subject to privacy and confidentiality issues. We retain this right at any time,
including after submission of your assessments.
Confidentiality
We will treat anything, including information about your job, workplace, employer, with strict
confidence, in accordance with the law. However, you are responsible for ensuring that you do not
provide us with anything regarding any third party including your employer, colleagues and others,
that they do not consent to the disclosure of. While we may ask you to provide information or
details about aspects of your employer and workplace, you are responsible for obtaining necessary
consents and ensuring that privacy rights and confidentiality obligations are not breached by you in
supplying us with such information.
Special needs
Candidates with special needs should notify their trainer/assessor to request any required
adjustments as soon as possible. This will enable the trainer/assessor to address the identified needs
immediately.
Assessment requirements
Assessment can either be:
➢ Direct observation
➢ Product-based methods e.g. reports, role plays, work samples
➢ Portfolios – annotated and validated
➢ Questioning
➢ Third party evidence.
If submitting third party evidence, the Third Party Observation/Demonstration document must be
completed by the agreed third party.
Third parties can be:
➢ Supervisors
➢ Trainers
➢ Team members
➢ Clients
➢ Consumers.
The third party observation must be submitted to your trainer/assessor, as directed.
The third party observation is to be used by the assessor to assist them in determining competency.
The assessment activities in this workbook assess aspects of all the elements, performance criteria,
skills and knowledge and performance requirements of the unit of competency.
To demonstrate competence in this unit you must undertake all activities in this workbook and have
them deemed satisfactory by the assessor. If you do not answer some questions or perform certain
tasks, and therefore you are deemed to be Not Yet Competent, your trainer/assessor may ask you
supplementary questions to determine your competence. Once you have demonstrated the
required level of performance, you will be deemed competent in this unit.
Should you still be deemed Not Yet Competent, you will have the opportunity to resubmit your
assessments or appeal the result.
As part of the assessment process, all learners must abide by any relevant assessment policies as
provided during induction.
If you feel you are not yet ready to be assessed or that this assessment is unfair, please contact your
assessor to discuss your options. You have the right to formally appeal any outcome and, if you wish
to do so, discuss this with your trainer/assessor.
Observation/Demonstration
Throughout this unit, you will be expected to show your competency of the elements through
observations or demonstrations. Your trainer/assessor will have a list of demonstrations you must
complete or tasks to be observed. The observations and demonstrations will be completed as well as
the activities found in this workbook.
Observation is on-the-job
Demonstration is off-the-job
Your trainer/assessor will inform you of which one of the above they would like you to do. The
observation/demonstration will cover one of the unit’s elements.
The observation/demonstration will take place either in the workplace or the training environment,
depending on the task to be undertaken and whether it is an observation or demonstration. Your
trainer/assessor will ensure you are provided with the correct equipment and/or materials to
complete the task. They will also inform you of how long you have to complete the task.
You should be able to demonstrate the skills, knowledge and performance criteria required for
competency in this unit, as seen in the Learner Guide.
If you are not employed, or able to complete demonstrative tasks in the workplace, you will need to
inform the assessor. They will be able to provide you with a simulated environment in which to
complete these tasks.
We would prefer that, wherever possible, these be “live” issues for your industry and require
application of the principles that you are learning as part of your training. Where this is not possible,
you and your third party should simulate the activity tasks and demonstrations that you believe
would be likely to arise in your organisation or job role.
Third party evidence can also be used to provide “everyday evidence” of tasks included in your work
role that relate to the unit of competency but are not a part of the formal assessment process.
The third party is not to be used as a co-assessor – the assessor must make the final decision on
competency themselves. Documents relevant to collection of third-party evidence are included in
the Third Party section in the Observations/Demonstrations document.
Activities
Complete the following activities individually or in a group (as applicable to the specific activity
and the assessment environment).

Activity 1D
Estimated Time 20 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to prepare a work flow schedule and mise
en place plan for food production according to menu and food volume
requirements.
1. Develop a workflow schedule for food production according to food volume requirements.
You are advised to spend a little time developing a workflow plan which can be applied to the
cooking process. This will enable you to break down the cookery tasks into manageable segments,
fairly allocate responsibilities to team members, and ensure that the meal is finished on schedule.
The cookery stages should follow a logical order. It might also be necessary for staff to work in
collaboration to ensure that tasks are completed to the desired standard.
Such as:
preheat oven
prepare mise en place
slice meat and add other ingredients for cooking
heat vegetables on hob
create sauce for the meat and pour
place meat dish in oven
2. Develop a mise en place plan for food production according to food volume requirements.
Mis e en place is a French cooking term which means to ‘set in place’, and it is a
technique
used in food planning and preparation. It means that before you start cooking, all the
ingredients and equipment required to make the dish should be measured, prepped and
ready to go, ideally set out and placed in ramekins. The idea of this technique is to allow
chefs to cook more efficiently, by preparing everything beforehand so you don’t have to
keep stopping when you are cooking
Your plan may s tate:
• Which ingredients and tools to gather
•How to prepare them e.g. dice, grate, mince, etc.
• Pre-measure ingredients into cups or bowls.
•What to do first/the order – generally you will start preparing the items which will take
longest
Activity 1E
Estimated Time 20 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to develop food preparation lists for use
of food production personnel.
Create two sets of food preparation lists for three starters, three main meals, two side dishes
and three desserts; one for a slow period and one for a busy period.
Activity 2A
Estimated Time 15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to calculate required food supplies for
food production period.
What do you need to consider/what questions should you ask yourself, to calculate the food
supplies for the food production period?
These are the questions and considerations that you should keep on mind to calculate the food
supplies for the food production period:
1. How many tables do you have?
2. How many meals and drinks do you serve at your busiest times on average?
3. How many meals and drinks do you serve at your slowest times on average?
4. What are your best-selling items and how many of those do you sell at slowest times
and
5. busiest
What are your least popular items and how many of those do you sell at slowest and
times?
busiest
times?
Activity 2B
Estimated Time 30 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to check stores for availability and
quantity of required stocks and order or purchase additional stock.
1. Take a stock count and calculate how much additional stock is needed for the period. This
activity needs to be observed by the trainer/assessor or third party.
In this activity, i took a stock account of our storage to check if we had enough storage for the
week. I am working for this kitchen for quiet sometime now so, i know exactly how much edible
stock will be required for a week. So, i took a pen and stock book and went to the storage room.
Our storage room is very well organized. Therefore it was easy for me locate the stocks. I
checked all the stocks and kept record of each one of them. Almost everything we
need was sufficient for the week except potatoes. So I took a note of it and informed it to my
supervisor. He then told me to order the required stock. I then took up the supplier register and
contacted the potato supplier. I ordered 4 kg of potatoes which was enough for the week. I then
did
a quality check on the received potatoes. After the quality check was passed, i transferred them
in the storage room to its designated place.
2. Use the organisational system to order an appropriate number of items. This activity
needs to be observed by the trainer/assessor or third party.
Our establishment had an electronic order system which is used to make purchases. The benefits
of an electronic/online order system means that you can compare prices between suppliers,
easily track spending and double-check orders before placing them. We also have a list of
previously bought items which makes locating items to purchase a lot quicker. So i logged into the
system and checked all the stock, which turned out to be less for upcoming week. I found that
potatoes and onions were less. So, i looked for their suppliers into system. There were 3-4 suppliers
for both items registered with us. I then talked to them about the requirement and got the quote prices.
I then compared the price, quality and delivery time of all of the suppliers and ordered from the best
one with consultation from my manager. The stock arrived in the evening and the items were of good
quality as well. This oline electronic order system has made my work or ordering more effective and
quick.
Activity 3A
Estimated Time 20 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to Supervise food production processes
to ensure food safety.
1. Identify six potentially hazardous foods/food groups.
2. What should you do if you notice a member of your staff has not washed their hands
between handling raw poultry and handling salad?
Activity 3B
Estimated Time 30 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to oversee and adjust kitchen work flow
to maximise teamwork and efficiency.
1. List three types of chef that work in your organisation’s kitchen.
2. Give an example of a time when you have responded promptly to an issue that had upset
the flow of work in the kitchen. This activity needs to be observed by the trainer/assessor
or third party.
Activity 3C
Estimated Time 30 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to Control production sequence of food
items to enable smooth work flow and minimise delays.
1. Give an example of a time when you have controlled the production sequence to enable
smooth work flow and minimise delays. This activity needs to be observed by the
trainer/assessor or third party.
2. List the teamwork skills you need to control the production sequence of food.
Ans to no.1
one day while i was working in the bakery, we had sudden orders of 150 donuts . As all our fresh
donuts were already out of stock we had to prepare everything from the scratch including the dough.
But as the orders were from school children who had just came from the baseball match, we had
limited time. Thus, i had to come up with something to buy some time for my co-workers to prepare
the donuts. Then, I came up with an idea of showing all the students how the donut was made , the
teacher agreed to it and that way the chidrens could also learn how a donut is made live in front of
their eyes. This way my co-workers were able to make the required number of donuts right infront of
the children without a rush to hurry and no delays as the customers who ordered (childrens in this
case) were also part in the cooking process.
Activity 4A
Estimated Time 20 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to monitor kitchen work processes at all
stages of preparation and cooking to ensure quality of food items.
What are four common problems you should watch out for when monitoring kitchen work
processes?
Activity 4B
Estimated Time 20 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to check that items match recipes and
menu descriptions.

descriptions. Note down the description of the item as stated in the menu descriptions or recipe
and what you saw.
Activity 4C
Estimated Time 30 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to ensure that food items are of
consistent quality and meet organisational standards.
Inspect a meal for quality and consistency, including:
Activity 4D
Estimated Time 15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to conduct final check on food items
before they are served, stored or despatched from kitchen.
What should you check in your final check before food is served, stored or despatched from the
kitchen? Give an example with your answer.
We should check the following during a final check before the food is served , s tored or
despatched
1. If the
from thefood matches order
kitchen:
2. If the food matches description
3. If everything is present (nothing is missing)
4. The presentation is consistent with standards.
Activity 4E
Estimated Time 15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to instruct kitchen staff to adjust food
items to meet quality requirements and organisational standards.
What might you need to instruct staff to adjust in order to meet quality requirements and
organisational standards?
Activity 4F
Estimated Time 30 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to supervise safe storage of food.
1. Describe the ways food can become contaminated in storage.
The ways through which food can be contaminated in storage are mentioned below:
1. Microbiologically, such as by raw foods contaminating
ready-to-eat food
2. Chemically, such as by food not being stored in food grade containers or by chemicals being accidentally spilt
onto food
3. Physically, from foreign objects including pests, glass,
dirt, metal and hair’.
3. Describe the different environmental conditions of storage below and the effect they have
on food:
➢ Temperature
Heat can cause things to melt, the warm temperature can encourage
bacteria to grow. Frozen foods should be kept frozen in storage – if they are allowed to
thaw they should be used immediately never re-frozen.
➢ Humidity
warm and damp conditions can cause mould.
➢ Lighting
Light can cause photodegradation, a chemical reaction which alters the pigments,
vitamins, fats and proteins of food altering the taste and allowing it to decay faster
➢ Atmosphere.
The wrong atmosphere can spoil food – the less oxygen in the atmosphere the longer
life food has so food is often stored in air tight containers or modified packaging.
Summative Assessments
The summative assessments are the major activities designed to assess your skills, knowledge and
performance, as required to show competency in this unit. These activities should be completed
after finishing the Learner Guide. You should complete these as stated below and as instructed by
your trainer/assessor.
It will demonstrate all of the skills required for this unit of competency – your assessor will provide
further instructions to you, if necessary.
If necessary for the activities, you should attached completed written answers, portfolios or any
evidence of competency to this workbook.
A signed observation by either an approved third party or the assessor will need to be included in
this activity as proof of completion.
➢ Reading skills
➢ Writing skills
➢ Oral communication skills
➢ Numeracy skills
➢ Problem-solving skills
➢ Teamwork skills
➢ Planning and organising skills
Answer the activity in as much detail as possible, considering your organisational requirements.
For the following two practical activities, you will practise the skills needed to effectively
coordinate cooking operations. You may undertake this activity in a workplace or simulated
environment.
1. First, you will need to plan the cooking operations for your kitchen. To do this, you will need to
analyse food production requirements and develop comprehensive operational plans to meet
those needs. Next, you will need to gather the recipes you wish to use for the menu and refer
to stock control documents to ascertain the levels of stock and calculate if you need to order
any additional items. Now you should be in a position to write a comprehensive but easily
accessible work flow schedule, mise en place plan and food preparation lists for kitchen staff,
so they know what they are required to do and when.
2. Second, you will begin to oversee the cooking process. To do this, you should use your
teamwork skills to coordinate a team of food production personnel. This will involve
delegating work within the team, briefing and debriefing team members on new products and
recipes and discussing process improvements and changes to food production and service
requirements. Remember to respond to feedback from food production personnel, providing
instructions and asking questions to clarify when necessary.
While overseeing the cooking operations, you should identify any breakdowns in the kitchen
workflow and adjust these to maximise efficiency. You should also be able to recognise
deficiencies in the quality of food and make adjustments to ensure a quality product.
You should be able to carry out your duties within a commercial timeframe while selecting and
applying the organisational procedures and strategies needed to perform work effectively.
The answers to the following questions will enable you to demonstrate your knowledge of:
➢ For at least three of the hospitality and catering organisations detailed in the unit’s
application:
