Instructions to Learner
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:

 Address each question including any sub-points

 Demonstrate that you have researched the topic thoroughly

 Cover the topic in a logical, structured manner

 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:

 Presenting any work by another individual as one's own unintentionally

 Handing in assessments markedly similar to or copied from another learner

 Presenting the work of another individual or group as their own work

 Handing in assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used, including


assessments taken totally or in part from the internet.

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.

Assessment appeals process


If you feel that you have been unfairly treated during your assessment, and you are not happy with
your assessment and/or the outcome as a result of that treatment, you have the right to lodge an
appeal. You must first discuss the issue with your trainer/assessor. If you would like to proceed
further with the request after discussions with your trainer/assessor, you need to lodge your appeal
to the course coordinator, in writing, outlining the reason(s) for the appeal.

Recognised prior learning


Candidates will be able to have their previous experience or expertise recognised on request.

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.

Page |7

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.

An explanation of observations and demonstrations:

Observation is on-the-job

The observation will usually require:

 Performing a work-based skill or task

 Interaction with colleagues and/or customers.

Demonstration is off-the-job

A demonstration will require:

 Performing a skill or task that is asked of you

 Undertaking a simulation exercise.

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.

VCID. ACOT Training and Assessment/SITHPAT006/Learner Workbook/V1.1/July 2019

Third Party Guide


You should supply details of the third party to the assessor before you commence the activities (see
below), unless the assessor has already selected a third party themselves. The assessor can then
contact the third party in instances where they require more evidence to determine competency, or
they cannot observe certain tasks themselves.

The reasons to use a third party may include:


 Assessment is required in the workplace
 Where there are health and safety issues related to observation
 Patient confidentiality and privacy issues are involved.

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.

Third party details (where required from the learner)


A third party may be required for observations or demonstrations; please provide details below of
your nominated third party and obtain their signature to confirm their agreement to participate. This
information will be required by your trainer/assessor in advance of arranging any future
observations or demonstrations.

1. List the reasons why a food preparation list is a valuable tool.
Following are the reasons that food preparation list is a valuable tool
- It helps to maintain the timing for preparation staffs before and after the preparation of
food
- Provide an overview for each and every production records as per required in each and
every department or station
- Act as a glance to the recipe that which ingredient is required for each and every dish
- It also makes the complicated recipe that is hard to prepare for this purpose the food
preparation list helps to make the work convenient and save our time and cost.
- Make sure of nothing is missed
- Make it easier way to schedule the staff work pressure and work can be divided equally for
the preparation of the food.

2. List the information that can be found when referring to a recipe.


As, we know recipe refers to the cooking procedures or the preparation procedures of the
specific food items that is enlisted with the cooking timing, required ingredients and all the
preparation procedures of the food. Following are the information can be found when

Activity 1C
Estimated Time 30 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to identify and select ingredients from
stores according to recipe, quality, freshness and stock rotation requirements
1. Write down the attributes that may indicate a decline in quality for the following
ingredients:

 Butter
Butter is one of the essentially required products for the food preparation and is
very useful substances for cooking purpose to provide flavour for the taste and also
nutritious for the health too although it has more fats its good for a healthy person
to take with the foods. As per the packaging of butter we can check its quality, so,
we need to see the packaging of butter is air tight or loose also we can check the
pure butter in spoons by melting them if the butter melts and changes into brown
its pure butter if it melts and turns into light yellow colour it is impure and not fresh
butter.

 Eggs

Eggs quality can be known through its appearance and taste too and colour too. Normally
we can do experiment of eggs in water if the eggs sink in water it is fresh eggs and if the
eggs float in water it is old and expired eggs. Also if the egg colour is black its quality is
already declined too.

 Milk/cream

The quality of the milk/cream can be checked through its packaging date and also from its
smell and taste too. We can also check the fresh and quality of the milk/cream through the
help of device lactometer. Also we can check it through its colour and appearance too.

 Flour

Flour quality can be checked through its moisture quality and its resistance level as well as
from its packaging we can identify the its quality and freshness of the products we selected
for cooking. Also by taste if the flour taste sour it is already expired or not fresh products
for consumption.

 Chocolate

The quality of chocolate can be identified through its crispy nature, soft nature and when it
is broken it has got sharp edges in the broken part and it can be also checked through its
packaging and expiring date too as well as from the taste chocolate quality can be
identified.

 Cocoa powder

VCID. ACOT Training and Assessment/SITHPAT006/Learner Workbook/V1.1/July 2019


P a g e | 12
Cocoa powder quality and freshness can be checked through its pH value that
need to be around 7.5 to 8 which is its standard quality pH value. It is light in colour and
have strong cocoa flavour. If this quality is maintained than we can determine the quality is
ok with this product.

 Dried fruit

The quality of the dried fruit can be known through its appearance as well as its textures
and colour and as well as its taste too. Which need to be free from yeasts and bacteria, If
the colour of fruit is unusual and very hard to chew it means the quality is already declined
and its expired.

 Yeast.

The quality of the yeast can be identified through its colour that need to be moist cream
that denotes its quality. If the yeast dark or dry, we should not select that yeast for the
preparation of food because its results is unproductive which already expired and cannot
be used for the better performance in the preparation.

2. Explain the difference between use-by dates, best-before dates and rotation labels.
Use- by dates means the products or ingredient need to be used by the specific date and consume them
within that specific time period. It is for the safety and maintaining the hygiene the food is based with the
use-by dates that is marked on the packaging of the products and it need to consumed by that specific date
enlisted. If it is consumed after that date it is harmful for the health of the individuals.
Best- before dates products are special products which basically don’t need refrigerator or freezing process
to store the food. It means the products that can be perishable soon and it need to be consumed soon as
possible to have it. It contains less nutrition and lost the quantity too. Examples like dairy products,
vegetables etc.
Rotation labels mean the Food rotation labels is the process of arranging food storing containers inside the
preparation room. Mostly, this label is coded with the colour for identification in a day in a week so, they are
very easy to recognize. They are a way of identifying when produce was prepared and can include additional
information such as ‘Use first’. Rotation labels help maintain an efficient FIFO system and minimise food
wastage. As food containers are reused, it is important to use rotation labels that are easily removed with no
residue left behind that can trap bacteria.
So, there is difference between this all packaging and arranging of the food items.

3. What steps would you take with regards to stock rotation to minimise wastage?
I use the FIFO methods that stands for first in first out. It is the procedures, if we apply in our workplace it
would be helpful to reduce and minimize the wastage. I can be listed below:
- Always locate the products with the sudden used by soonest best before or use by dates
- Remove and clear the damaged products and label the new dates for further use by confirming its quality
- Arrange the items in front which is near expiry date products, so we can cook and prepare it early.
- Manage the items likes new date items should be placed back and near expiry products need to be placed first
- Always use or sell the product from the sequential order as per its production date.

To sanitise and clean knives we need to follow all the food and safety procedures of hygiene and
safety to make safe washing for the knives. Following are the procedures of safe washing of the
knives:
Refrain from putting knives into a sink of soapy water as your risk cutting yourself trying to locate
and pick them up from the bottom of the sink
➢ Always carry or use the knife with the blade pointing away from us
➢ Use a dishcloth to wipe the blade from handle to the tip. This ensures it does not come into
contact with the sharpened end
➢ Hold the handle firmly and rinse the knife thoroughly under very hot running water. Take care
not to scald yourself
➢ Wipe the knife dry, again from handle to tip
➢ Put the knife away – leaving it on a surface could be dangerous.

2. What precautions should you take when removing items from machinery?

Following are the precautions that need to be taken place for removing items from machinery:
- Need to pluck out the machinery equipment before cleaning it
- Follow the SOP accurately

Activity 3A
Estimated Time 15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to sort and assemble ingredients
according to food production sequencing
1. Provide an overview of the ‘mise en place’ method of preparation
Mise en place is the food preparation area where all the arrangements for the food preparation are
conducted and carried out for the measurement of ingredients, cutting procedures, peeling, sliced,
grated before the cooking of foods.

2. Within your workplace, locate a recipe and from it identify all the steps you would take to
ensure the ‘mise en place’ stage of food production was complete.
For cooking aloo paratha we need to conduct the mise en place that is early preparation of the
food items like we need to vegetables like potato, onion, green chillies and wash them
properly and cut them in dice cut for the potato and mash them with all the ingredients like
salt, graham masala, chilli and other materials and then we need to chop the onion and
coriander and place them together with the mixture and also prepare the flour quantity and
arrange them for cooking which is known as the ensuring the mise en place before cooking our
dish.

Activity 3B
Estimated Time 15 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to weigh and measure wet and dry
ingredients according to the recipe and quantity of desserts required
1. List the types of measuring and weighing equipment that may be used in a
commercial kitchen.

Following are the types of measuring and weighing equipment which is useful in the commercial
cooking:
➢ Scales
o electronic
o mechanical
l ➢ Measuring jugs
➢ Measuring spoons.
And it can be weigh in gram, kilogram, pounds and ounces

2. Within your workplace identify the weighing scales and ensure you know how to use
and read them correctly.
Following are the weighing scales and how can we use correctly are described below:
Measuring jugs, measuring scales and scales using procedures are as follows:
Make sure that the scale is set to zero before you begin i.e. the scale is correctly
calibrated. Ensure the weight of the weighing bowl is not being read. The scales should
read zero with the empty bowl already on
➢ Place the ingredient to be measured in the weighing bowl. Continue to do so until the
scales display the desired amount. Make sure you are reading the scales in the correct unit
➢ Remove the ingredient from the scale, either still in the bowl or transfer to another
container
➢ Wash and dry the weighing bowl or place a clean bowl on the scales
➢ Ensure the scales read zero
➢ Weigh the next ingredient and repeat until all ingredients have been weighed out.

Activity 3C
Estimated Time 10 Minutes
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to minimise waste to maximise
profitability of desserts produced
Discuss steps that can be taken, both in the kitchen, and from menu, decisions to minimise
waste and maximise profit in the workplace.
To make the profit by minimising the waste from kitchen and from the menu we can use the
measurement of waste and later on we can reduce it quantity as per the requirement, also
we can recycle the waste like paper, bottles, plastic etc. and that can be reused later on, also
by engaging staffs and keeping records of the waste and reporting them we can have profit
in the company. As well as by controlling the stock or inventory we can manage the waste
and increase profit in the company.

➢ Analyse the food that is left on plates from consumers


➢ Consider making portions smaller or offering the same dish in different sizes including
children’s portions
➢ If a dish is not selling as well as anticipated, create a specials dish that uses the some of
the same ingredients so that they are not wasted
➢ Consider offering customers the option to take food home

Provide an example of a thickener for each of the following categories:

 Starch thickeners
Starch thickeners are made from the cornflour, arrowroot and tapioca are the types of
starch thickeners.one of the best flour to use as a thickener is all-purpose flour because it's
higher in starch than other wheat flours. Corn-starch is a pure starch derived from corn. It can
withstand a good amount of cooking and stirring before it begins to break down

 Protein thickeners
Protein thickeners like eggs and gelatine from eggs we can make the protein thickeners thicken
sauces as is the case in custards and sabayon. They must be added to the heat of sauces
carefully, however, as otherwise they will scramble and create an unpleasant texture to the
sauce

 Other thickeners.
Other thickeners like agar agar , pectin and xanthium gum are the other thickeners that are
used in cooking for thickening purposes
