Instructions to Trainers

Training kits

To effectively train in this course, you will have to invest time and effort into putting a
training kit together. Ideas for the content of the kit are provided in the “Resources” column
of the detailed guide for each module.

The materials and resources will enhance your training. Your kit should contain resources
such as:
• Paper-based: books, photos, magazines, posters, notices, signs, advertisements,
brochures, maps, etc.
• Equipment-based resources: utensils, cleaning equipment, knives, etc.
• Samples and examples: materials used in industry, items learners may have not seen
before – e.g. certain types of crockery

Preparing for your classes, go through the resources required and collect or prepare these
well in advance, especially where you will need industry samples and examples, flashcards,
new articles and so on. If possible, share the work involved with colleagues to reduce the
workload on one person and to make the resources available to other classes as well.

Activities

This trainer guide provides for many and varied activities. These activities are not all
included in the Learner Guide. Depending on your time and resource, you must identify
what activities you can deliver based on time and facilities. Try to do as many activities as
possible to facilitate Active Learning opportunities for your learners.

Activities are provided in the following categories:

• Out of class research – such as sourcing information from industry. Learners will do
this out of class time and you will facilitate feedback on their findings and draw
conclusions
• Practical activities: these include role-plays, tastings, identification tests, flashcard
games, simulations, guest speakers, audio-visual sessions, demonstrations and practice
time
• Discussion-based: Learners will have time to discuss various topics either as a large
group or in smaller groups. Facilitate feedback from these discussions.
