What is Skills Assessment?

Skills Assessment is a process of Recognising Prior Learning (RPL) or experience, whereby an individual can be granted credit towards a Nationally Recognised Qualification.

What do you need to provide?

The Skills Assessment looks at your current and previous experience within the Hospitality industry. Chef Central is able to map this experience and knowledge to the Nationally Recognised Qualification, enabling you to receive a Statement of Attainment, or a Qualification in your professional trade area.

What type of evidence do I need to provide?

Chef Central works with you to achieve the final result. Your part in the process is to gather the evidence of previous work, prior learning and experience. Typically, the evidence gathering will include the following:

• Current Resume/CV
• Photographs
• Availablilty in a functional kitchen
• Reports/written references from other workers, suppliers and supervisors
• Menus
• Contactable references

Chef Central will provide you with a guide to completing this process, once enrolled.

What next?

Once the evidence gathering process takes place, the Chef Central assessor will conduct a workplace assessment and work with you to validate the evidence portfolio.

Sometimes, it is not practical for the applicant to have the assessor visit his/her workplace. On these occasions, Chef Central has established various “Centres of Excellence” through our trading partners. These facilities can be used to conduct live demonstrations of your skills.
