Introduction to this guide
1.1 Introduction
Welcome to this guide.
This guide uses Competency Based Training to teach workplace skills. It is based on
competency standard that is a nationally agreed statement of the skills, attitude and
knowledge needed for a particular task. The major emphasis is on what an individual can do
as a result of training. One of the most important characteristics of Competency Based
Training is its focus on training individuals for actual jobs in the workplace.
This will help you teach the competency Launder linen and guests clothes.
This guide deals with the skills and knowledge required to work in an 'on premises' laundry in
a commercial accommodation establishment.
Care should be taken in developing training to meet the requirements of this unit. For general
and prevocational training, organisations providing training which takes into consideration the
full range of industry contexts, with no bias towards individual sectors. The Range of
Variables will assist in this regard. For sector-specific delivery, training should be tailored to
meet the needs of that sector.
A delivery strategy has been provided for the teachers and trainers. The suggested content
gives an indication of what needs to be covered in the program to meet the competency
standard.
The delivery strategy used and assessment provided in this unit are not compulsory and
should be used as a guide. Teachers and trainers are encouraged to utilise their own
industry knowledge, experience, local examples and products to adapt the materials or
develop their own resources, in order to ensure the relevance of the training.
Trainers or teachers should select training strategies that are appropriate for the competency
being taught, the situation and the needs of the learners. For example, if practising on-the-job
is not possible, varied simulations and role-plays may be appropriate.

5.1.2 Competent
Ask yourself the question, “what does an employee really need to be able to do?” The
answer to this question will tell you what we mean by the word “competent”. To be competent
in a work related skill implies that the person is able to:
perform at an acceptable level of skill
organise the required tasks
respond and react appropriately when things go wrong
fulfil a role in the scheme of things at work
transfer skills and knowledge to new situations.
When you assess this competency you must take into account all of the above issues to
reflect the real nature of work.
5.1.4 Assessors
In workplace situations, an industry certified assessor would determine whether a worker was
competent to undertake the tasks entailed by this unit of competency. If you are certified to
assess this unit, then you may choose from the methods offered in this guide, or develop your
own to conduct assessment. Assessors must look at the evidence guides in the competency
standards before arriving at the assessment methods to use.
Evidence should include a demonstrated ability to correctly explain and apply principles and
practices in the hospitality industry.
Should your trainees or students not have the underpinning skills and knowledge required,
you must ensure that you deliver this material before you progress to the next section.
Use these tasks to determine if your trainees have the necessary underpinning skills and
knowledge. The table below can be used to record the result of each student and what further
training is needed.
Results of a successful
assessment should indicate
Package for Hospitality Training – Launder linen and guest clothes
44
sufficient and relevant
knowledge and understanding to
be able to infer competence.
Therefore the trainee is assessed
as either competent /
competence to be achieved.
Examples of assessment results
sheets are included in Appendix
1 and 2.
Assessment of practical demonstration in the workplace may include observation of the trainee:
processing laundry items
completing record keeping and billing procedures
packaging laundry items.
Oral questions or some form of written assessment/project would be useful to determine underpinning knowledge such as:
hygiene, health, safety and security issues relevant to laundry operations
common laundry terminology
common issues / problems in a guest laundry
linen control procedure.
In off-the-job assessment, simulated activities could be used to allow the trainee to provide evidence of skills through practical
demonstration:
processing of multiple laundry items using typical guest laundry equipment
role-play to demonstrate customer interaction
demonstration of how to use specified laundry equipment.
1. You arrive in the laundry around 9.00 am. Items waiting to be laundered include soiled bed linen and towels plus
restaurant table cloths and napkins which have various food marks including red wine stains. The restaurant
will require these at lunchtime. In addition there is a bag of guest laundry due for return to the guest by 10am.
It has obviously been overlooked by the previous shift. The bags include white business shirts, underwear, a
couple of brightly colour red t - shirts and two pairs of cotton trousers. Complete the total laundering, fishing
and packaging process for these items and respond to the potentially difficult customer service situation.
2. Identify ten common stains found on linen and guest garments. Explain/write notes on how to treat these stains.
3. The laundry bundle includes cotton shirts, pure wool jumpers, silk underwear, denim jeans and some brightly coloured
blouses of various fabric types. Sort and launder these items appropriately.
4. Problem solving
What would you do if a garment were damaged during the laundering process?
What would you do if a washing machine broke down mid-cycle?
