Fact Sheet: Delivery of Certificate II in Hospitality (Kitchen Operations) (SIT20307) through the Hospitality Curriculum Framework

HSC curriculum pathway

Students must undertake the Hospitality (240 indicative hours) course and the Hospitality Specialisation Study (60 or 120 indicative hours) to be able to achieve this qualification.
Students only undertaking the Hospitality (240 indicative hours) course will be eligible for a Statement of Attainment towards Certificate II in Hospitality (Kitchen Operations).

This qualification includes a holistic unit of competency as a core unit which a student must achieve to be eligible for the qualification.
The holistic unit is SITHCCC027A Prepare, cook and serve food for food service.
This unit of competency requires the collection of evidence for assessment over at least
12 complete food service periods.
Delivery and assessment, as well as reporting and credentialling, of this unit of competency is through the Hospitality Specialisation Study (60 or 120 indicative hours).
This unit has been listed in the Hospitality (240 indicative hours) course with 0 HSC indicative hours to allow the commencement of the collection of evidence for assessment of the unit, but the unit may not be entered on Schools Online (Administration) through this course (refer to Section 8.5, Table 8 of Part A of the Syllabus)

HSC VET course requirements are not identical to the AQF VET qualification packaging rules. To ensure that students can meet both sets of rules, schools/colleges and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) need to carefully plan the delivery of courses from the Hospitality Curriculum Framework:
1. Decide which qualification the students will be enrolled in. This will determine the qualification packaging rules to be met.
2. Decide which HSC VET course you are offering, for example the 240 indicative hours course or the 240 indicative hours course plus a specialisation study. This will determine the HSC course requirements.
3. Select the units of competency to be delivered, ensuring that the combination of units meet the HSC course requirements (including compulsory, stream and HSC elective units to meet course HSC indicative hour requirements) and the AQF VET qualification requirements (including core and elective units for the qualification).

Schools/colleges and RTOs must ensure that they are meeting the HSC indicative hour requirements for both courses.
For example, if a student is undertaking the 240-hour course plus a 60-hour Specialisation Study they are required to undertake 300 HSC indicative hours of units of competency across the two courses. As the holistic unit of competency contributes 40 HSC indicative hours towards the 60-hour specialisation study, students will need to undertake an additional 20 HSC indicative hours of units of competency to meet the HSC course requirements.

A course planning template has been developed to help teachers ensure course planning meets both the HSC course requirements and the AQF VET qualification packaging rules.
The template lists the compulsory and stream units of competency for the HSC VET course plus any other core units of competency for the qualification. Remaining HSC VET course and qualification requirements to be met are then outlined. Schools/colleges and RTOs then add the remaining units of competency that will be included in their delivery to meet the course and qualification requirements.
A range of samples have been developed for this qualification pathway.

Schools and colleges should seek the advice of their RTO manager when planning their course delivery.
