It is important that you provide evidence that you completed each service period. We have provided you with a Student Logbook to help you. You will need to understand what a 'service period' is to ensure that you fulfil your requirements. If you are still unsure, speak to your assessor before you get started. What is a service period? The SIT, Tourism, Travel and Hospitality Training Package tells us that, for the purpose of assessment, service periods do not necessarily align with shift periods worked. For example, a service period in a hospitality environment such as a restaurant may be a breakfast service, lunch service or dinner service. A shift worked in a restaurant may incorporate one or more of these service periods. So, you may work a shift that incorporates a breakfast service and a lunch service and although this is one 'shift worked, it may be used for two service periods. However, the two service periods must be clearly defined and the start/set-up and finish/close of each service period must be clearly identified. Learn. Grow.
