Description

This Qualification covers the retail baking - cake and pastry specialisation within the food processing industry.

Job Roles
The Certificate III in Retail Baking (Cake and Pastry) provides trade baking skills and knowledge for those working in a retail baking environment with a focus on cakes and pastry.

Additional Qualification advice
Units selected from other Training Packages must be relevant to the work outcome, local industry requirements and the Qualification level.

Some Units imported into this Qualification from the SIR07 Retail Services and SIT07 Tourism, Hospitality and Events Training Packages require prerequisite Units in hygiene and food safety from the source Training Packages. These prerequisite Units have not been imported as they duplicate food safety Units already required as core skills within the Food Processing Training Package Qualifications. If selecting these Units, the RTO should facilitate recognition of the FDF Units as suitable prerequisite Unit alternatives.

Note: AgriFood Skills Australia expects that the design of any training delivery and assessment program to support the achievement of this Qualification is based on:
the context required by the industry and/or enterprise
a holistic and integrated training delivery and assessment plan that identifies learning activities and evidence required
flexible delivery options including on-the-job and work-based training that support the development of competency.
