and knowledge of lecturing staff to work in Challenger’s 4th Paradigm for VET providers.

What did all this mean?

• Recognizing opportunities that were about to present themselves.

• Changes to be introduced through Legislation.

• Hygiene for Food Handlers

• Responsible Service of Alcohol

Hygiene for Food Handlers Legislation

• Some states have introduced compulsory requirements for Food Handlers.

• It was anticipated that WA would follow suit very quickly.

• It hasn’t happened yet but will eventually.

Approach

Local Council Environmental Health Officers

• Mandurah Council very receptive

• Cockburn Council

• Fremantle Council

• East Fremantle Council

Student sends lecturer completed work book and written assessment back to lecturer.

Lecturer marks assessment and work book

When student is competent the lecturer advises the council Environmental Health Officer.

Student enrols in course through TAFE

Enrolling Officer Informs Lecturer

Lecturer phones student and sends out “Welcome Pack” including work book.

Lecturer keeps in touch via email phone as student progresses through course If not yet competent

Lecturer advises student further work required.

Student completes extra work and submits to lecturer

EHO visits workplace and collects 3rd party evidence and completes EH audit

On successful completion of audit EHO provides lecturer with 3rd party evidence and informs lecturer of results

Course completed and student is resulted.

Approach• All licensed venues

• Clubs

• Pubs

• Sporting Bodies with licensed premises

• Liquor Stores

• Restaurants

What the project achieved• Hygiene for Food Handlers We have offered it as a

one day or self paced course, both in Fremantle and Mandurah. This year we would only have trained 10 people. We are in the process of a project at eTech to pilot the Self Paced version to run from the centre.

• Responsible Service of Alcohol Since starting RSA training June/ July of this year, Challenger TAFE would have trained close to 1000 individuals. We probably would have run close to 50 training sessions - Fee for Service and Profile training.

How the project outcomes were achieved because of your skill development

• All those that undertook the delivery of the Responsible Service of Alcohol Unit completed a training course with either the Australian Hotels Association or by a trainer that had completed the AHA course.

Where to now – will the project continue on? In what form?

• Hygiene for Food Handlers Course

• Continue with negotiations with councils.

• Responsible Service of Alcohol

• Continue with the promotion of the courses to the Liquor industry.

What has industry said about your project

• Hygiene for Food Handlers

• Councils still like to do their own delivery of Food Safety Course as they are dealing with the individual clients on a regular basis and they can tailor their training to the individual client needs.

Responsible Service of Alcohol

• Those that have used our services continue to enrol more students.

• Those that are not using us are happy with their current provision of training.
