Yes, Work Based Training (WBT) is a compulsory part of this qualification. It is aimed at giving students a varied experience in a real-life situation under normal commercial pressures. VCI may provide work placement through third party arrangements, but students should also find their own practical work placement at an organisation of their choice. A WBT Logbook must be maintained recording each service period, the date, its duration and tasks performed, and each session must be signed off by a supervisor.

All units of competence will be assessed using a selection of tools including observation of the learner performing and demonstrating practical tasks, written and oral questions, written reports, projects, and work-based training. Practical training and assessment is completed in commercial kitchens, including VCI's own commercial kitchen.

Yes, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is available. RPL is the assessment process for recognising competencies gained through previous learning, work, and life experiences. Students who have completed any of the subjects or have relevant practical experience can contact VCI prior to enrolment. Candidates are required to provide evidence that is valid, authentic, current and sufficient to demonstrate competency in the specific subject or subjects.

The course runs for 52 weeks full time, including 8 weeks of holidays, and is delivered face-to-face at VCI's Brisbane campus. Intake dates are available in January 2023, April 2023, July 2023, and October 2023.
