Activities

Complete the following activities.

	Successful completion of this unit requires that you demonstrate your skills and knowledge in an operational commercial kitchen during 48 service periods. It is important that you provide evidence that you completed each service period and we have provided you with a Student Logbook Template to help you. You will need to understand what a ‘service period’ is to ensure that you fulfil your requirements. If you are still unsure, speak to your assessor before you get started.
	What is a service period? The SIT, Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Training Package tells us that, for the purpose of assessment Service periods do not necessarily align with shift periods worked. For example a “service period” in a hospitality environment such as a restaurant may be a breakfast service, lunch service or dinner service. A “shift” worked in a restaurant may incorporate one or more of these service periods. So, you may work a shift that incorporates a breakfast service and a lunch service and although this is one “shift” worked, it may be used for two service periods. However, the two service periods must be clearly defined and the start/set-up and finish/close of each service period must be clearly identified.
	What do I need to demonstrate? During your service periods, you will be required to demonstrate a range of the skills and knowledge that you have developed during your course. These include: During the 48 service periods, you must have covered at least one: During the 48 service periods, you must have prepared, cooked and presented items for at least three of the following menu styles: During the 48 service periods, you must have prepared, cooked and served items from the following food types to meet quality requirements: Can the dishes which you prepared in Assessment 1 cover any of these requirements? How will I provide evidence? In your Student Logbook Template, you will find some detailed information about providing evidence a logbook summary and a form for each service period. At the completion of each service period you will need to: Your assessor will also observe some of your service periods and complete an observation checklist. Tips for completing your Student Logbook

Complete your 48 service periods and Student Logbook Template.

On completion of your industry placement, carefully check your logbook to ensure that all of the sections are complete and correct. Submit it to your assessor.
