Qualification Description
This qualification reflects the role of those making premium, high-value cheeses on a small scale, where the provenance of the milk is known, and where specialised techniques that are controlled and monitored by the cheesemaker are used. In this role, makers analyse materials and products exercising judgement to guide the cheesemaking process and the work of others.
Individuals with this qualification apply integrated technical and theoretical concepts in varied contexts, to analyse situations, synthesize information, and design and evaluate approaches to sometimes unpredictable problems. They use initiative and judgement to organise the work of self and others, and plan and coordinate the work of teams.
No licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, legislative and regulatory requirements for food processing and food businesses exist, so local requirements must be checked. All work must comply with Australian food safety standards and relevant codes of practice.
