SECTION 1 : GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The curriculum presents a coherent and significant set of competences to acquire in order to perform the occupation of FOOD AND
BEVERAGE The curriculum design approach has taken into account the training needs, the work situation, as well as the goals and
the means to implement training.
The modules of the curriculum include a description of the expected results at the end of training. They have a direct influence on
the choice of the theoretical and practical learning activities. The competences are the targets of training: the acquisition of each is
required for certification.
6
The curriculum is the reference to carry out the assessment of learning. Assessment tools of learning are developed on the basis of
this document.
The present curriculum consists of two parts. The first part is of general interest and shows the nature and goals of a program and
the key concepts and definitions used in the document. The second part deals with the training package. It includes the list of
modules, the description of each module and the course structure.
The pages describing the modules are the heart of a curriculum. They present the title of the module, the length of training, the
amount of credits, the context in which the competence is performed, the prerequisite competences, the learning units and the
performance criteria.
In each module, a course structure is provided. The course structure describes the learning outcomes (knowledge and skills) and
the learning contents related to each learning unit. Also, the learning activities and resources for learning are suggested.
Assessment: the process of gathering and judging evidence in order to decide whether a person has attained a standard of
performance. See also competency-based assessment.
Competence: A competence is the result of a combination of knowledge and skills. This integration is demonstrated when the
learner is able to achieve specific results and performances, understand what he/she does and do it autonomously.
Complementary competences: (also known as employability skills or key skills) skills which are not specific to work in a specific
occupation or industry, but are important for work, education and life generally, such as communication skills, mathematical skills,
organisational skills, computer literacy, interpersonal competence and analytical skills.
Credit: the acknowledgement that a person has satisfied the requirements of a module.
7
General competences : competences correspond to larger operations that go beyond the tasks, but generally contribute to their
implementation. These activities require more fundamental learning and are generally common to several tasks and transferable to
many work situations.
Internship: an opportunity for a learner to integrate career related experience by participating in planned, supervised work.
Learning activities: suggested activities that can be developed during lesson planning and activity preparation. The choice of
learning activities must be tailored according to group size, available material resources and communication tools.
Learning assumed to be in place: a requirement for the attainment of a specific module or modules prior to commencement of
another module.
Learning hours : amount of hours required to acquire the competence, including the time allocated to evaluation, which is
estimated between 5 and 10% of the total learning time of the competence.
Learning outcomes: are statements that indicate what learners will know or be able to do as a result of a learning activity.
Learning outcomes are usually expressed as knowledge, skills, or attitudes.
Learning unit: any of the basic building blocks of a module which describes the key activities or elements of the work covered by
the module.
Module: a unit of education or training which corresponds to one competence and can be completed on its own or as part of a
qualification.
Performance criteria: are descriptions of the quality requirements of the result obtained in labour performance.
Specific competences : competences that are directly related to the tasks of the occupation in the workplace context. They refer
to concrete, practical, and focused aspects.
