What are the changes to the qualification rules and how do they affect me?
The rules for Certificate II in Hospitality (Kitchen Operations) remain similar to the rules in the previous Training Package. There have been some changes to the rules for Certificate II in Hospitality. This qualification now includes a holistic unit as a core unit of competency and restricts to two the number of commercial cookery and catering units that can contribute towards the calculation of the qualification. This means that schools who are offering a Hospitality course with a commercial cookery focus will need to enrol students in Certificate II in Hospitality (Kitchen Operations). They will not be able to award students Certificate II in Hospitality as has been possible in the past. It is not possible to achieve Certificate II in Hospitality (Kitchen Operations) through the 240-hour course. The outcome of the 240-hour course for students undertaking a commercial cookery pathway will be a Statement of Attainment towards Certificate II in Hospitality (Kitchen Operations).
