Overview

Overview

Prepare for work in restaurants, catering, cafes and other food-related roles, with the Food Handling Skill Set SITSS00068 at Victoria University.

This skill set is suitable if you handle food in kitchens, small food-preparation areas, or bars in tourism, hospitality or catering.

You will gain hands-on skills and knowledge to prevent food-borne illnesses:

  • identifying and reporting food hazards
  • safe food handling
  • safe preparation and storage of food items
  • service and dispose of food
  • laws and regulations related to food preparation.
  • food safety program procedures.

This skill set is delivered over one (1) day via face-to-face training on campus in a classroom and VenU, Victoria University’s training restaurant open to both staff and general public. The operational training lets you learn and apply your skills in a fully-equipped hospitality training environment.

There is also a facilitator-led eLearning training and assessment component, and you will undertake structured learning activities in your own time. It is useful, but not essential, for you to have basic computer skills to access the eLearning.
