Revision of Hospitality qualification

 

National Certificate in Hospitality (Operations Supervision) (Level 4) with strands in Food and Beverage Service; Gaming; Accommodation; and Front Office [Ref: 0882]

 

The Hospitality Standards Institute has revised the qualification above.

 

Date new version published                                                             July 2010

 

The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2012.

 

Reason for the revision

 

The qualification has been revised due to changes to domains and unit standards made during the review of the hospitality unit standards in 2009.  These changes resulted in a reclassification of some domains and changes to titles, levels and credits.  One unit standard was removed from the Accommodation strand because it is expiring.  Two unit standards were removed from the Front Office strand as they are at Level 2 and fit better with the National Certificate in Hospitality (Front Office) (Level 3) with an optional strand in Hotel Systems [Ref: 0557].

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

·      Increase in credit range total.

·      Removal of a unit standard from the Accommodation strand.

·      Removal of two unit standards from the Front Office strand.

·      Changes in the titles, levels and credits of the standards in the qualification.
