Summary of review and consultation process

 

The Hospitality Standards Institute has recently completed a review of the level 2, 3 and 4 unit standards in the domains of Accommodation Services, Food and Beverage Service, Hospitality Operations and Guest Services, because they had passed or were about to reach their anticipated expiry date.

 

Stage one

Initially, the HSI advertised to stakeholders their intention to conduct a review.

 

Stage two

The HSI sent out feedback forms to stakeholders, and also published information as to where they might obtain a form in order to give written feedback in the unit standards under review.  This feedback was collated into a summary document.

 

Stage three

The HSI held regional forums around the country and invited industry leaders to attend.  Each unit standard was looked at individually, and changes, comments and feedback were recorded, under the guidance of facilitator, Adam Cunningham.

 

Stage four

The unit standards were rewritten to reflect the comments that were agreed to at the specific forums.  The rewritten unit standards were sent back to the attendees to make sure they were a true reflection of the feedback given.  Unit standards that were not reviewed at the forums, due to time constraints, were also sent out, requesting comments to be made.  Feedback was once again collated and the unit standards were rewritten reflecting the comments made by the majority.

 

Stage five

Further changes to the unit standards were made to meet requirements for registration.

 

The review report was written and sent with the unit standards to NZQA for evaluation.

 

Unit standards 4645, 4646, 16705 and 16645 were not reviewed.  The HSI was waiting on an outcome on the future of the Licence Controller Qualification (LCQ).  As the unit standards reflected extensive knowledge of the Sale of Liquor Act 1989 and Host Responsibility, the HSI considered that the unit standards needed to be reviewed alongside the review of the LCQ, which would take place at a later stage.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·        Changes made to some titles to ensure they accurately reflected the outcomes required of each unit standard.

·        Special notes added to the practical unit standards because some requirements were repeated in each element when they needed to be considered at all times during assessment.  For example, special notes now included the greeting of customers in a polite and friendly manner at all times.  The repeated performance criteria were removed.

·        Performance criteria in some unit standards changed to reflect current practice in the hospitality industry.

·        Changes made to range statements, reducing them, or clarifying requirements.

·        Some of the unit standards that were posted for review did not receive any feedback from stakeholders.  Therefore, HSI did not make any changes to the performance criteria, other than put repetitive performance criteria into the special notes.  These unit standards were categorised as category B.

 

Unit standards categorised as category C expire at the end of December 2006.
