Learning outcomes

Evidence requirements

UT20900

1. Be able to prepare service areas, equipment and stock for wine service

2. Be able to determine customer requirements for wine

3. Be able to present and serve wine

4. Understand how to prepare service areas, equipment and stock for wine service

Assessed observations should not be carried out on the same day for the same learning outcome. There should be sufficient time between assessments for reflection and personal development. You need to meet the same standard on a regular and consistent basis. Separating the assessments by a period of at least two weeks is recommended as competence must be demonstrated on a consistent and regular basis.

4. Range All ranges must be competently demonstrated as part of an assessed observation.

5. Knowledge outcomes There must be evidence that you possess all the knowledge and understanding listed in the Knowledge section of this unit. In most cases this can be done by professional discussion and/or oral questioning. Other methods, such as projects, assignments and/or reflective accounts may also be used.

6. Tutor/Assessor guidance You will be guided by your tutor/assessor on how to achieve learning outcomes and cover ranges in this unit. All outcomes and ranges must be achieved.

7. External paper There is no external paper for this unit.

1. Environment Evidence for this unit should be gathered within the workplace, however, you may be assessed within an approved realistic working environment (RWE) that meets People 1st’s criteria.

2. Simulation Simulation is not allowed in this unit.

3. Observation outcomes Competent performance of Observation outcomes must be demonstrated on at least two occasions. Assessor observations, witness testimonies and products of work are likely to be the most appropriate sources of performance evidence. Professional discussion may be used as supplementary evidence for those criteria that do not naturally occur.

Achieving range

Achieving observations and range

UT20900

Your assessor will observe your performance of practical tasks. The minimum number of competent observations required is indicated in the Evidence requirements section of this unit.

Criteria may not always naturally occur during a practical observation. In such instances you will be asked questions to demonstrate your competence in this area. Your assessor will document the criteria that have been achieved through professional discussion and/or oral questioning. This evidence will be recorded by your assessor in written form or by other appropriate means.

Your assessor will sign off a learning outcome when all criteria have been competently achieved.

The range section indicates what must be covered. The specified number of ranges must be practically demonstrated as part of an assessed observation. Evidence for the remaining points under the range must be assessed through questioning or witness testimony.

Every range item must be evidenced.

You may be required to undertake additional observations to ensure all range items have been covered. VTCT recommends that where possible all ranges are covered practically. Your assessor will document the portfolio reference once a range has been covered.

Achieving knowledge outcomes

Developing knowledge

You will be guided by your tutor and assessor on the evidence that needs to be produced. Your knowledge and understanding will be assessed using the assessment methods listed below*:

• Projects• Observed work• Witness statements• Audio-visual media • Evidence of prior learning or attainment• Written questions• Oral questions• Assignments• Case studies• Professional discussion

Where applicable your assessor will integrate knowledge outcomes into practical observations through professional discussion and/or oral questioning.

When a criterion has been orally questioned and achieved, your assessor will record this evidence in written form or by other appropriate means. There is no need for you to produce additional evidence as this criterion has already been achieved.

Some knowledge and understanding outcomes may require you to show that you know and understand how to do something. If you have practical evidence from your own work that meets knowledge criteria, then there is no requirement for you to be questioned again on the same topic.
