File the service while you can still taste it.

Recognition of prior learning for cookery, catering, pastry, and baking. You add the service you already ran. The portfolio lines it up against the qualification and tells you what is still missing.

This is not a food-safety certificate by itself, and it is not a liquor licence. A registered training organisation assesses the file. The council, the food regulator, and the venue’s own rules stay where they are.

Start my portfolio I employ the team Read the kitchen note

A chef and two cooks smiling in a commercial kitchen after service — One service, named and dated, is worth more than a camera roll of plates.

What you add

Add one service you can still picture: the kitchen or the function, the date, and what you cooked, plated, or supervised. A production sheet, a voice note after service, or a photo of the pass before it went out. Do not include a guest’s face or a customer’s details.

The portfolio does not issue the qualification and it does not replace a food-safety supervisor certificate where the state or the venue requires one. Competent is only what an assessor records.

A cook smiling while plating at a function — Write the menu, the date, and what you were responsible for. Leave the guests out of the photo.

The qualifications on this door

Each code is the national one. The unit list in the portfolio is the one published for that code. If the register has replaced it, the line says so. An assessor at a registered training organisation still decides.
