What are the specific assessor requirements and how do they affect me?
The Tourism, Hospitality and Events Training Package has explicit assessor requirements. The Training Package requires assessors to: • meet AQTF 2007 assessor requirements • have relevant industry experience in the field in which they are assessing • have comprehensive current knowledge of the industry, current industry practices and the job role against which performance is being assessed. For assessment of Certificate III and IV in Commercial Cookery assessors must also hold a commercial cookery qualification as well as having post-qualification work experience in a fully equipped, commercial kitchen. This is not a significant change from the old Training Package for the assessment of Certificate II qualifications. The additional requirement for Certificate III and IV in Commercial Cookery is a new requirement. Teachers will need to continue to follow the processes and procedures of their RTO and school system in maintaining industry currency to meet the requirements of Training Pack
