This qualification reflects the role of chefs and cooks who have a supervisory or team leading role in the kitchen. They operate independently or with limited guidance from others and use discretion to solve non-routine problems.
As there are components of this program that must be completed utilising restaurant services, and whilst some services will be conducted in the simulated training restaurant, it is a CQUniversity requirement that the student must be employed within the restaurant/food service industry to enable completion of the required restaurant/kitchen service coordination requirements as part of the practical learning.
Prior to commencement, it is preferable that the student already holds a trade qualification (Certificate III in Commercial Cookery). If not, upon commencement the student will need to complete the Certificate III component of the course (25 units) prior to undertaking the remaining eight units within the Certificate IV.
CQUniversity also requires completion of bksb (Basic Key Skills Builder) online literacy and numeracy assessment prior to enrolment, unless the student has completed an equal or higher-level course.
Students must complete a Vocational Placement and/or Work Integrated Learning as part of this qualification.
Additional information
Live work is not required by students who have previously completed the following units:
For students who have not already completed these units, you will need to demonstrate 48 restaurant services (portfolio of evidence) within industry. For the unit SITHKOP013 plan cooking operations, students need to demonstrate 12 services.
