This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
A person credited with this unit standard is able to demonstrate an understanding of:
  • Plant baking equipment used in the plant bread bakery,
  • Plant baking terminology used in the plant bread bakery,
  • Plant baking supporting systems used in the plant bread bakery,
  • Plant baking processing systems.

    This unit standard is intended for a person who works in a plant baking environment and who uses plant bread bakery equipment, terminology, supporting systems and processing systems.

    This unit will contribute to the full development of the learner with in the baking manufacturing environment by providing recognition, further mobility and transportability within the field of manufacturing and assembly. The skills, knowledge and understanding demonstrated within this unit standard are essential for social and economic transformation and contribute to the upliftment and economic growth within the baking manufacturing and processing environment.

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    Description of required skills:
    Demonstrate understanding of and use the number system.
    Read and respond to a range of text types.
    Understanding of health and safety requirements in a baking environment. 

    UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
    The typical scope of this unit standard is for anyone who wants to start a career in the baking industry and needs an introduction to the terminology, equipment and systems in plant baking environment.

    In the context of this unit standard, terminology, equipment and processing systems refers to terminology, equipment and processing generally used and found in the plant baking environment.

    The level assigned to this unit standard is appropriate because the process is moderate in range, established and familiar and offers clear choices of routine responses. The learning demand employs basic operational knowledge and readily available information. The application of this unit standard is to qualify the person for certification in sub-trades.
