o If you have previously completed units of competency that are equivalent to those in your course, you may be able to receive a credit transfer. This means you won’t need to repeat training for units you’ve already achieved.
o To apply, you’ll need to provide certified copies of your qualification or statement of attainment, or your USI transcript. We will verify your documents with the issuing RTO or the national register before awarding any credit.

• Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
At HGT, we recognise that you may have gained skills and knowledge through previous work, study or life experience. RPL is a formal assessment process that allows us to evaluate these exiting skills and, where appropriate, give you credit for what you already know.

To discuss RPL and whether it applies to your situation, please get in contact with us.

• Once you have received the adequate training in a unit of competency you will have the opportunity to complete the assessment tasks to gain a competency rating for each unit.
• If for any reason you are unable to complete your traineeship, you will be issued a Statement of Attainment, which records units of competency achieved. This statement will be issued by Hospitality Group Training and can be used in the future when applying for Mutual Recognition.
• The traineeship certificate is an official document issued by Hospitality Group Training to recognise successful completion of a traineeship. Traineeship certificates are nationally recognised throughout Australia.
• To be eligible to receive this certificate you must:
o Successfully complete all units of competency selected in your training program outline.
o Ensure that the evidence of assessment has been completed by the trainee, employer and assessor.

• If your assessor does not find you competent, you will receive feedback from them, regarding your performance and the areas that need to be improved, and you can be re-assessed at another time.
• If you disagree with the assessment or the way in which you have been assessed, you can appeal. Any appeal must be lodged within one month of being notified of the assessment outcome.
• An application form is available from HGT so that you can lodge your formal appeal in writing, clearly stating your grounds for appeal.

• Every workplace will provide you with their own code of conduct policies which you must adhere to whilst under their employment.
• General principles however would recommend that we are all responsible for our conduct in the workplace. As a trainee you should aim to encourage each other to uphold the principles and responsibilities outlined in your workplace code and ensure that your behaviour is above reproach and able to withstand public scrutiny.
