The provision of PPE is determined prior to enrolment with TAFE and is outlined in the contract between the apprentice and employer, as negotiated with an Australian Apprenticeship Centre (AAC). Typically, medium to large employers provide all PPE while some smaller establishments will require the apprentice to provide some PPE – in consultation with the AAC.

At enrolment, students should be assessed through the ‘RU ready’ tool to identify needs in Language, Literacy and Numeracy. Results will assist the teaching section in providing the correct support and contextualising units as required.

To be enrolled in this course, you need to be able to provide evidence that you are:

• An apprentice (you will work in industry and study at the same time)

• employed full time

• signed up with an Apprentice Network Provider and have a Training Plan Proposal

• seeking to gain skills and knowledge to become a qualified Retail Butcher after successful completion

Prior to commencement, the TAFE Trainer/Assessor visits the workplace to confirm it has all the necessary facilities and equipment for each unit and that it is available for the student to use on a 1:1 basis. If the workplace is found to be not suitable for some units, options are discussed with the employer, TAFE and the AAC. Options include the student completing some units at TAFE, being re-located to another employer for training and assessment in specific units or the employer hiring the necessary equipment for the duration of the training and assessment. This is determined before the student commences and any changes would be reflected in the student’s training plan.

To successfully complete this course, you will need:

• Attend work on a daily basis and practice butchery skills and complete all course work and practical skill requirements for 44 units of study in the AMP30815 Certificate III Retail Butcher program.

No work placement is required as students must be employed and attend their workplace already.
