Mode of Delivery

This course is delivered online with a required workplace practical assessment.

• Online learning and assessmentsComplete the theory at your own pace in our student portal. Save your progress and return anytime.
• Workplace practical assessmentStudents must organise access to an approved operational food preparation area, such as a commercial kitchen. The practical assessment includes workplace video tasks, workplace reporting, and supervisor or industry expert support. The worksite must allow the student to safely complete the required food handling activities and record the video tasks in the workplace. The workplace supervisor or industry expert provides third-party workplace evidence only. Eclipse Education's qualified assessor reviews all submitted evidence and makes the final assessment decision. Eclipse Education may contact the workplace, supervisor or industry expert to verify the workplace details, observer role and authenticity of submitted evidence.
• Host Site Pre-Approval and DeclarationBefore any workplace practical assessment begins, the student must nominate a workplace and supervisor or industry expert for approval. A short online form must be completed to confirm the site is suitable for the required food handling activities, that the student can complete the practical assessment tasks there, and that workplace video recording can occur in a way that protects privacy. The form is reviewed by Eclipse Education and must be approved before workplace assessment begins.
• Privacy during workplace recordingVideos must only show the student and the immediate work area. Customers, other staff members, computer screens, personal information, and unrelated workplace activity must not be recorded.
• Workplace evidence requirementsOnce the worksite is approved, students complete the required workplace practical evidence, including workplace video tasks and workplace reporting forms provided by Eclipse Education. Full instructions and access to these tasks are provided after approval. Workplace practical tasks may include safe food handling during receiving, storing, preparing, processing, displaying, serving, packaging, transporting and disposing of food, as well as temperature monitoring, temperature probe checks, cleaning/sanitising tasks, and reporting food safety issues.

We provide all instructions, forms, and guidance once you enrol. The responsibility for finding a suitable workplace lies with the student, and we make the process as simple and supported as possible.
