The Hospitality Standards Institute has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          March 2010

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2015

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

In July, August and October meetings were held with a range of stakeholders including representatives from the hotel, bar, clubs, cafe, restaurant and polytechnic sectors to review the current food and beverage qualifications.  As a result of those meetings and the feedback provided from assessors and moderators, the standards listed above were reviewed.  The standards were amended to include all the duties undertaken by the role they represented which resulted in changes to titles, level and credits and the replacement of four existing unit standards.  Changes were made to the standards and endorsed by the stakeholders in late October.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·         End of shift procedures were added and an evidence range was added to element two which increased the credits on unit standard 14421 from 4 to 10.

·         Unit standards 14422, 14435 and 14437 were replaced by new unit standard 26308.

·         Unit standard 14439 was replaced by new unit standard 26309.

·         A special note specifying additional evidence requirements was included which increased the credits on unit standard 14446 from 5 to 12.

·         Changes were made to titles, special notes, elements, performance criteria and ranges.

 

Unit standards categorised as category C expire at the end of December 2013.
